Glasgow weather: Met Office shares when thunder and lightning are set to start

Glasgow is set to see more unsettled weather as thunder and lightning is forecasted for September 7.

After heavy rain battered the city on Tuesday, further downpours and thunderstorms are predicted to hit the city as we move into Autumn.

This comes as Scotland felt higher than average temperatures at the beginning of the month, following heat waves throughout summer. Now with low pressure circulating the country, stormy conditions are expected.

According to the Met Office, the cloudy skies are set to turn darker by 4pm today with the chance of thunder and lightning after showers begin at 12pm.

For tonight the weather forecasters add: "Showers becoming isolated this evening with a sunny end to the day for most. A few showers returning later this evening and overnight, but most staying dry. Minimum temperature 13C."

Speaking about the unsettled weather conditions in the Met Office’s latest week ahead forecast, Senior Presenter and Meteorologist Alex Deakin, explains: “We often have one area of high pressure controlling our weather, we've certainly seen that a lot through the summer. But one area of low pressure controlling things for a number of days is fairly unusual.”

He adds: “By the time we get to Thursday, that low pressure is moving in across the UK. The isobars just perhaps starting to open up in places. It could be quite windy across the southwest on Wednesday night for sure, but otherwise, as this low moves in, what we could see is the showers become more slow moving so they last a little longer and they could drop more rain.”
