Scotland is set to reach the mid to high 20's early next week, with an amber alert for extreme heat issued in certain southern parts of the country. Because of the unusual heat the RAC has warned that there may be more breakdowns than usual.
They believe that on Monday and Tuesday there could be as many as 15-20 per cent more drivers in need of help across the UK, which would mean more than 1,000 breakdowns a day. They say this could put pressure on breakdown services.
Because of this they have asked that drivers prepare, urging them to check that they have a breakdown kit in their car in case things go wrong. They have also asked drivers to carry out vital checks before setting off to avoid a breakdown in the excessive heat.
