Glasgow weather washout after rain deluge as people joke of 'heatwave'

The UK is currently basking (or suffering) in swelteringly high temperatures.

In London, the heat reached 32C, with Birmingham just behind as it experiences temperatures of 30C. Meanwhile in Manchester it is a balmy 27C.

Surprising nobody, the heatwave hasn't made its way up to Scotland. In fact, here in Glasgow it's been a total washout.

While it's not quite as dreary as what we were struggling through this morning, it's still far from toasty temperatures.

Earlier today, we were hit with a deluge of rain, prompting plenty of Glaswegians to joke about their experiences of this so-called "heatwave".

One joked, "Wow. I sure hope Glasgow survives the #Heatwave today" with an accompanying photo of them running with their goggles on.

Another took a photo of a sodden city centre with the caption "Glasgow loving the heatwave."

One user said: "Heatwave Glasgow style. Stay safe people in the land beyond Hadrian’s Wall!"

Another said: "Rest of the UK: Glasgow: “Summer? Never heard of her.”

Meanwhile, one person joked: "It’s wet in Glasgow. So thanks for those who’ve wished me a happy heatwave day but that ain’t happening!"

The bleak weather has been particularly alarming for those heading to Hampden tonight for the second night of Ed Sheeran's concert.

However, you're in luck - it looks as though (touch wood) the rain is off for the rest of the day, meaning you won't end up dancing to Shape Of You in a soggy puddle!
