TUESDAY could be the hottest day of the year so far with the Met Office saying temperatures are to reach 25C in parts of Scotland.
The west of the country is the most likely area expected to experience the soaring temperatures.
Sunday marked the hottest day of the year so far across the UK, with Plymouth hitting a high of 24.4C.
Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud however has said that Scotland could see temperatures of 25C on Tuesday in “one of two spots… most likely across west Scotland”.
He added: “But after that we’re expecting temperatures to subside just a little as we move forward towards the middle and end of the week.”

Stroud added that temperatures will remain “generally above average” but not meet “heatwave criteria”.
He continued: “We’ve got high pressure sending across at the moment, which is bringing dry and settled weather and some late spring, early summer sunshine.
“We’re expecting similar conditions for the rest of the week and into next weekend and probably beyond. So an extended spell of dry and settled weather.”
Stroud said that May has been “very dry” with “just slightly more than half the normal amount of rainfall we would actually expect”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
