Tayside and Fife weather outlook for June and July
Warmer temperatures are expected throughout June and July, with forecasters predicting above average temperatures between June 20 to June 4.
It comes after eastern Scotland saw one of the wettest months on record in May, receiving more than twice the average rainfall.
May was an average of 1.2C cooler throughout the month than normal, according to official figures.
Midge forecast
One expert has warned the warm weather will herald the return of Scotland’s infamous midges.
Dundee-based APS Biocontrol director Dr Alison Blackwell, who runs the Scottish Midge Forecast, said cold weather throughout May had kept the beasties at bay.
But Dr Blackwell explained the arrival of the warm weather would see them emerge “in their masses”.
“The cold May kept numbers down but the last few days of hot weather has seen large numbers emerge.
“In a few days, people in the Highlands will feel the difference. If you haven’t been bitten yet, you soon will be,” Dr Blackwell said.
