Scotland to be hotter than Marbella today as Easter sizzler continues

Get the taps aff again.

The mini heat wave currently sizzling Scotland is set to continue into Easter Monday with temperatures expected to reach as high as 23C over most parts today.

And that will be higher than the sun-kissed Spanish holiday hotspot of Marbella where the mercury will only reach 22C.

It comes after an usually high period of warm weather which engulfed Scotland over the course of the Easter holidays.

Scotland weather boost as Easter Sunday hits record high with more sun to come on Monday

It was so hot here temperatures over the weekend broke records for the Easter period with the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh topping the temperature gauge at 23.4C.

We told on Friday how temperatures across the country were hotter than Ibiza.

That beat the previous record set back in 2015 when Aboyne in Aberdeenshire was 20.7C.

The UK's warmest Easter temperature was the 29.4C recorded at Camden Square in London on Easter Saturday in 1949.

The Central Belt and southern parts of the country will see the warmest weather with the north feeling a bit cooler.

A Met Office forecast predicted: "A dry, fine day with plenty of sunshine. Feeling warm or very warm for most, especially through the Central Belt.

"Slightly cooler across the Isles with a fresh southerly becoming southeasterly breeze. Maximum temperature 23 °C."

The warmer weather is great but it wasn't all good news as firefighters were called out to deal with a large wildfire in Aberdeenshire on Sunday.

Around 24 firefighters rushed to tackle the blaze at Rosehearty at around 12.30pm.
