UK heatwave set to miss Tayside and Fife as forecast changes

Perth Scotland sunny weather
Initial forecasts of temperatures in the mid-20s in Perth have changed.

A heatwave predicted for parts of the UK will miss Tayside and Fife – with rain and lower temperatures now forecast for the region.

The Met Office had earlier this week predicted highs of 23°C on Friday for the east of Scotland.

It comes as the south-east of England and London could see the mercury reaching 34°C.

Locals hoping to head to Broughty Ferry beach on Friday may have to change their plans.

But it is now expected parts of Tayside and Fife could be half that temperature, with south-west Fife set to be just 17°C.

Most other areas in the region will have highs of 18°C with rain – some of it heavy – expected throughout Friday morning and afternoon.

Sunny spells for Father’s Day

The best of the weekend weather for Tayside and Fife is expected on Sunday, with highs of 18°C and sunny spells in time for Father’s Day.

Monday will also be sunny with temperatures creeping as high as 20°C for some.

Pollen levels are expected to stay moderate over the weekend.
