A second heatwave has descended over Scotland with temperatures expected to reach 30C. The weather has led to a six-day wildfire warning with parts of the country under a 'very high' alert.
The warning for eastern and southern regions is in effect from Wednesday, August 10 to Monday, August 15. Surface fires could burn and spread with 'high intensity' in these areas, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) has warned.
The hot spell is set to peak on Thursday in Scotland at 29C or 30C, says Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern. Highs could reach a toasty 30C in Edinburgh with the hottest weather predicted in southeastern areas and the east coast.
