Glasgow weather latest as Met Office say UK could see 'heatwave' as temperatures reach 22C

The weather in Glasgow is set to warm up during the coming week, says the Met Office.

Although we have not long experienced a heatwave, which saw parts of Scotland - including Glasgow - soar to above 30C, the upcoming temperatures are not set to be record breaking.

Weather forecasters have said that an "area of high pressure building from the Atlantic into the south and south west of England will bring rising temperatures with some areas expected to reach low or even mid 30s by the end of next week."

The highs of 22C is set to make an appearance on August 10 (Wednesday) but before then, highs of 17C are predicted across the next few days.

Met Office chief forecaster Steve Willington said: “We could see parts of the UK entering heatwave conditions if the above-average temperatures last for three days or more. Many areas of the UK, especially the south will witness temperatures several degrees higher than average, but these values are likely to be well below the record-breaking temperatures we saw in mid-July.

“As the high pressure builds there is very little meaningful rain in the forecast, especially in those areas in the south of England, which experienced very dry conditions last month. Elsewhere in the UK, such as in northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, rain-bearing weather fronts will make limited headway against the high pressure, bringing some rain to north-western parts of the UK.
