Scotland could record high temperatures on Tuesday as the country continues to be hit by a heatwave. An amber weather warning for extreme heat is in place until midnight on Wednesday for eastern, southern and central parts of Scotland.
Weather experts believe temperatures could pass the August 2003 record of 32.9C at Greycrook in the Scottish Borders, Holyrood minister Keith Brown urged people "to think about whether they need to travel and, if they do, make sure they're properly equipped and plan their journey in advance".
On Monday, the mercury rose to 31.3C in Aboyne in Aberdeenshire and Leuchars in Fife, the Met Office said. Meanwhile, the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh recorded 30.8C and temperatures peaked at 29.9C in Aviemore.
