Amber weather warning extended to Edinburgh as 'extreme heat' to affect capital

An amber weather for extreme heat has been extended to cover the whole of Edinburgh, according to the Met Office.

Previously, the rare warning was only issued to parts of Midlothian and the Borders, but on Sunday, July 17, forecasters updated the warning to spread across the capital and most of Scotland, including East and West Lothian.

The Met Office say: "A hot spell is likely to develop from Sunday (July 17), likely peaking early next week, leading to widespread impacts on people and infrastructure."
