Edinburgh weather: capital will be hotter than LANZAROTE tomorrow

Pass the sun cream - because even though the chance of a holiday is looking ever doubtful with Spain put back on the quarantine travel list, a tan is still looking likely here in Scotland.

The mercury is set to soar in Edinburgh tomorrow as the good weather arrives just in time for the weekend...for once.

Get the BBQ out as temperatures are set to climb to a sizzling 27 degrees by the middle of the afternoon tomorrow, Friday 31 July.

In fact, the Scottish capital will be hotter than LANZAROTE tomorrow where the temperature will be just a degree lower at 26C.

However, you'd best make the most of it because the weather is set to take a huge dip back to a cloud-filled 18C on Saturday and just 17C on Sunday, although there will be sun.

According to Netweather, the heatwave is thanks to a new Atlantic system which will push hot air over much of the UK.

Director for Netweather, Paul Michaelwaite said: "A new Atlantic system will start to show it's hand, with a spell of rain moving in from the southwest.
