Scotland sets new high temperature record as mercury hits 34.8C
Scotland has recorded its highest temperature since records began after weather monitoring stations picked up a sweltering 34.8C in the Borders - nearly 2C above the previous high.
The Met Office says that it has detected a "provisional" new high temperature of 34.8C at Charterhall in the Borders on Tuesday afternoon. While the record is not yet official, it surpasses the previous Scottish record that was also set in the Borders - 32.9C in Greycrook on August 9 2003.
The forecaster said on Twitter: "Charterhall in the Scottish Borders has provisionally set a new maximum temperature record for Scotland today. The temperature rose to 34.8°C earlier this afternoon, exceeding the previous record of 32.9°C recorded in Greycrook on 9th August 2003."
Scots have been soaking up the sun on the second of two days of amber weather warnings for "extreme heat", which comes to an end at midnight tonight. Forecasters at the Met Office say those basking in the high temperatures run the risk of "adverse health effects" if they are particularly vulnerable to the warmer climate.
Schoolgirl, 6, killed after driver mounted pavement while she walked with her dad
A six-year-old girl died after a reckless driver mounted the pavement and hit the youngster, who was walking hand-in-hand with her dad. John Owen has been told he is facing prison after he admitted to colliding with Sharlotte-Sky Naglis.
At court yesterday, Owen pleaded guilty to killing Sharlotte by dangerous driving on June 19 last year. A psychiatrist had been instructed to assess Owen’s fitness to plead ahead of the hearing.
The 45-year-old, from Stoke-on-Trent, was told it was “inevitable” that he would now be jailed. Judge Graeme Smith said the situation was a “particularly tragic case,” reported StokeonTrentLive.
Judge Smith said: “You have pleaded guilty. You will receive the appropriate credit for pleading guilty without a trial. The guilty plea will come as a relief to members of Sharlotte’s family, without doubt. Cases of this nature are tragic, and this is a particularly tragic case for a number of reasons."
Scots mum's memory loss and confusion after holiday turned out to be chronic illness triggered by heat
A mum who was diagnosed with a chronic illness after returning from a holiday in Morocco has shared her coping strategies for the extreme heat that triggers her illness. Mother-of-two Linda Hoskins, from West Lothian, was on holiday in Morocco in 2012 when she struggled to keep up with conversations and found it hard to function.
The 37-year-old dismissed it because of the 42C heat, but became worried when she returned home and symptoms continued. Weeks after returning to Scotland, the mum-of-two lost her ability to walk and use her legs for weeks before doctors' tests and scans revealed that she had Multiple Sclerosis, reports Edinburgh Live.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. It's a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability.
The condition that can be triggered by heat and the West Lothian mum has had to take extra measures to prepare for the scorching temperatures that cause her condition to flare up. She said: "I have MS so heat triggers it so any options of getting cooled down is welcome.
"It’s good for people to know that it’s not about just not enjoying the heat but actually triggers relapses for some who have MS. I got diagnosed 10 years ago, it has various effects including weakness of limbs, memory loss, and impacts my concentration."
