Edinburgh weather: City set for one of hottest days so far in 2021 next week

If you live in Edinburgh, the start to 2021 has seen a mix of torrential downpours, the city blasted with snow showers and the odd glimpse of sunshine.

Over the last few days, it has seemed the weather can't quite make up its mind. Between the sudden rain and spells of glorious sun, it can be hard to know what to wear when you venture out.

However, you'll be glad to hear that it seems the weather is going to settle on sunshine as the week progresses after being forecast with "relentless" winds and blustery showers just days ago.

The mercury will start to rise from Monday when temperatures will reach a mild 11 degrees. By Tuesday, the March heat will reach its peak for the week, with highs of 13C, before dropping back down to 11C on Wednesday.

This could be one of the hottest days the city has had so far this year - let's hope it's a sign of things to come, with Spring getting into full swing.

You'll want to make the most of it, with sunny intervals on the cards as we kick off the rain-free week as we head into Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The sunshine is set to stick around for most of the week, with ten degrees forecast for Saturday. Though, clouds are due to spoil the fun on Sunday when they roll in.

Looking at the weather forecast across the country, BBC forecasters say: "Tuesday will be a mild day with a cloudy start, as a band of early rain clears eastwards in the morning. It should then turn dry and sunny later with only a few showers lingering in the north.

"Wednesday looks to be mostly dry and mild, with patchy cloud and only a few showers occurring in the east. Thursday is expected to be a dull day with a few showers possible in the east."
