Temperatures here will be closer to the seasonal average and Scots could face unsettled conditions with wind and rain as the storms moves in to the UK on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The majority of Scotland is expected to miss out on a heatwave <\/a>set to hit the rest of the UK as Storm Dexter moves in.<\/p>\n

The Mirror<\/a> reports that the Met Office <\/a>has warned that Tropical Storm<\/a> Dexter will arrive on Saturday night after travelling from the east of the USA across the Atlantic and will bring \u201cunseasonably hot\u201d weather with it.<\/p>\n

Temperatures in eastern Scotland could peak around 23-24C, but with more cloud and a stronger breeze across northwestern Scotland, temperatures here will be closer to the seasonal average and could face unsettled conditions with wind and rain.<\/p>\n

However, England and Wales should expect a scorcher of a week.<\/p>\n

According to the Met Office, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dexter will draw warm air from the southwest across the UK. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has even issued a yellow heat health warning for a large part of the country starting Monday. as the hot weather front approaches.<\/p>\n

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Steven Keates, said: \u201cWe\u2019re confident that temperatures will increase markedly by the start of next week, reaching the low 30s Celsius in parts of England on Monday and perhaps the mid 30s in a few places on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the length of this warm spell is still uncertain, and it is possible that high temperatures could persist further into next week, particularly in the south.<\/p>\n

\u201cEx-Dexter sets the wheels in motion for an uptick in temperatures, but the weather patterns then maintaining any hot weather are rather more uncertain\u201d.<\/p>\n

In general, the weather in Scotland will be widely unsettled for the rest of the week. A huge system of heavier showers is to drench much of the country on Thursday, with the west coast to bear the brunt of the rain.<\/p>\n

The good news is that by Thursday evening, most of these showers will have cleared up.<\/p>\n

But Friday and Saturday are to bring more scattered showers with some dry areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Temperatures here will be closer to the seasonal average and Scots could face unsettled conditions with wind and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5009],"tags":[748,4884,1142,712,16,15,741],"class_list":{"0":"post-331142","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-scotland","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-met-office","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115000117027348558","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
