UK heatwave: The funniest tweets as Scotland melts in sweltering heat

The sun took its time peeking through today as we wondered whether the cloudy conditions would offer a bit of respite from the intense heat that we've been experiencing this week.

As we reported yesterday, the temperatures of around 27C today mean that Glaswegians have been basking - or sweltering rather - in warmer climatic conditions than our counterparts in sunny European holiday spots such as Budapest, Paris and even Tenerife!

Naturally, loads of us out there have joined our fellow Scots - many of whom have seen the mercury rise to 29C - in taking to Twitter to share our feelings about the current weather situation, raising more than a few smiles in the process.

From moaning about it being too warm to revelling in it, here's our pick of the best patter we've stumbled upon on Twitter:

That warm blast of holiday air!

Loud neighbours alert...

A wee wummin has melted...!

Takes some getting used too...

'It's meant to be baltic'

'We have gingers who will die'

The shade? The tables have turned...

The canoes are out on the Rio Clyde...

A freezing cold bath might be the solution...

'I can hardly function'

We'd kill for an ice pole or jubilee...

Who needs Benalmadena...

'Bring on winter'
