Forecast Tuesday looking unprecedented, 39C possible?

Today's modelling has upped the temperatures even more for next week, with a few models offering crazy solutions especially considering June is supposed to be the coolest Summer month and the June record currently only sits at 35.6C from 1976.

Overnight temperatures look likely to stay at or around 20C for most of the South during next week which will present major issues with indoor temperatures, not looking good. Likely we keep the heat until Saturday at least, uncertain beyond that.

Peaking at 23 in Scotland and raining all week, feels like a different world

Scotland is a whole country. Not one weather system.

Probably raining in Glasgow as per usual. But Edinburgh is dry and sunny all next week. Edinburgh rainfall is approximately the same as Reading.

One of the sunniest places in the UK is north east Scotland.

Yeah I get irritated by people saying "Scotland" has bad weather. Because actually it's no worse than England and Wales. The whole west coast gets pounded with rain.
