Edinburgh is set for highs of 22C before the end of the month which comes amid a spell of bad weather.
According to AccuWeather, who have looked at the forecast ahead for the rest of August, the capital is set for a mixture of wet and dry spells before the higher temperatures roll in.
This week much of the weather is set to remain wet with some sunny spells breaking their way through the clouds. The Met Office have also said the same when discussing the weather over the next week with the capital set for several downpours across the next few weeks as we head into the colder season.
