Edinburgh weather: City to be hit with three day heatwave ahead of thunderstorms

Edinburgh is set to have a three-day heatwave as temperatures are forecast to rise.

While the sun has brought tourists and locals to the city centre, BBC Weather forecasts that temperatures will rise to 21C on Sunday 11, Monday and Tuesday will drop to 20C.

Locals have been enjoying the warm temperatures for the last couple of weeks but naturally we can't have too much of a good thing.

After days of the temperatures hitting the 20s and above, the weather will turn and we can expect lots of wind, rain, and thunderstorms.

On Wednesday 14, temperatures are set to be 20C but thunderstorms are expected by the late morning.

For the rest of the week from the 14th, weather forecasters predict showers for the remainder of the week but temperatures are still set to hit 20C.

For June 10 -June 19, Met Office issued the following outlook: "To begin the period, generally largely dry, but with some scattered showers and thunderstorms possible towards the south and southwest, potentially spreading further northeast.

"It will likely remain cloudy at times along northern and eastern coasts, cloud occasionally moving inland, mainly overnight. Winds mostly light or moderate with the potential for some slightly stronger winds near southern coasts.

"Temperature generally warm away from cooler eastern coastal counties. Perhaps very warm for some, especially in the south. Later in the period uncertainty increases, however the risk of showers or thunderstorms continues, mainly across southern areas of the UK, with northern areas more likely to remain drier. The easterly breeze may ease at times, allowing eastern counties to see a recovery in temperatures. Temperatures generally near to above average."
