Glasgow weather to soar to 27C this week as thunderstorm warning continues

Glasgow is set to be blessed with a sunshine once again this week after parts of the city and surrounding area saw rainfall breaking the sunny streak.

Sadly, the storm hasn't passed quite yet with parts of the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area affected by another Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms.

Set to come into force today (June 12), the warning kicks off at 12pm and will remain in place until 9pm. Another warning was issued for tomorrow but this will not affect Glasgow.

Despite a dodgy start, the rest of the week is looking pretty good with highs of 27C predicted to warm the city up on Tuesday followed by 26C Wednesday. After this, highs of 25C are expected all week - and into the weekend - making it another bright week and ample opportunity to soak up the sun.

But what about this looming weather warning? Here is what you need to know.

According to the Met Office, thunderstorms that are developing on Monday afternoon may bring some disruption with many told to expect the following:

  • Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
  • There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost
  • Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services
  • There is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads
  • There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds

The forecasters state: "Although some places will miss them, thunderstorms are likely to develop over parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland from early Monday afternoon. These will be fairly slow moving with the potential for large rainfall amounts in a short period of time. 20-30 mm of rain may fall in an hour or less in a few spots with perhaps 40-50 mm possible if successive showers affect the same location. Frequent lightning is also likely to be a hazard along with hail."
