Latest Weather Forecast: Glasgow set for record June temperatures in mini heatwave
Glasgow is set for a notably warm spell through the middle of the week, with temperatures climbing well above seasonal averages before conditions turn more unsettled heading into the weekend.
According to the Met Office forecast for the Glasgow area, Tuesday evening will remain dry, bright and warm, with overnight temperatures staying mild at around 15°C. The settled pattern continues into Wednesday, when early cloud is expected to clear, leaving largely sunny skies and temperatures reaching approximately 24–25°C.
Thursday is forecast to be the warmest day of the week with temperatures up to 29°C and possibly higher in what could be one of the hottest June days recorded in the city. The Met Office expects hot conditions across Glasgow and much of west-central Scotland, although forecasters are warning that heavy and potentially thundery outbreaks of rain could develop later in the day and continue into Friday.
The warm weather follows a broader period of high temperatures affecting parts of the UK. While the most extreme heat is expected farther south, Glasgow is still likely to experience unusually warm conditions for late June. Recent forecast updates indicate temperatures could reach the mid-20s Celsius before the weather pattern changes.
The weekend is expected to feel noticeably fresher. Saturday should bring lower temperatures along with the risk of scattered showers as cooler air moves into western Scotland. While some brighter intervals are possible, the settled and sunny conditions seen earlier in the week are unlikely to persist.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the Met Office's longer-range outlook suggests more changeable weather, with periods of rain and showers possible across Scotland. Any prolonged sunshine is expected to be interrupted by passing weather systems, although temperatures should remain relatively mild for the time of year.
For most of the week, Glasgow residents can expect warm and often sunny conditions, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday. However, anyone planning outdoor activities later in the week or over the weekend should keep an eye on updated forecasts, as thunderstorms and showers could bring rapidly changing conditions from Thursday onwards.
