Many parts of Scotland including southern parts of the country as well as large parts of the central belt, Fife, Edinburgh and as far up as Dundee are set to be placed under an amber warning for extreme heat. Temperatures are expected to clock-in just shy of 30C, with much of southern Scotland sitting in the high-20's.
The warning has been issued as the heat presents a serious threat to health. Officials have urged people to take care of themselves during the amber warning, which is set to last from 12.00am on Monday, 18 July, until 11.59pm on Tuesday, 19 July.
On top of this, it is important to keep an eye out for those around you and to be able to identify the adverse health effects of excessive heat. From dehydration to heatstroke it is important to look out for those around you, particularly if they fall under a vulnerable group.
