The Firth of Forth is one of the regions in Scotland that could be at risk of water scarcity as temperatures continue to soar across the country and locals are using more water than usual.
SEPA have issued a warning for 11 areas in the country that could be at risk, with the Firth of Forth rising to Moderate Scarcity rate. It comes after SEPA warned last week that conditions were unlikely to improve as dry weather continues, leading to low river and groundwater levels.
While the situation is being closely monitored as always, the impending heatwave is set to continue with temperatures nearing 30c on Tuesday, July 19. Last week, similar temperatures were recorded in Edinburgh and the Lothians, as well as an amber weather warning for extreme heat levels, was issued for parts of Midlothian and the Borders for next week.
