An amber warning has been issued by the Met Office for Monday, affecting the east coast and south of Scotland. She said in particular people should keep out of direct sunshine and stay hydrated, as well as keep an eye on others.
Ms Sturgeon said: "The next couple of days are set to be exceptionally hot. Please take care and follow sensible advice - keep out of direct sun; stay well hydrated; and look out for others who may be suffering from the heat."
