Scotland’s scorching weekend weather is set to come to an end tomorrow when downpours are expected across most of the country.

The latest weather maps from WX Charts show a deluge of rainfall arriving tomorrow morning which is expected to last throughout the day.

Edinburgh, St Andrews and Perth will see the heaviest downpours with up to 5mm per hour forecast to fall. Kilmarnock and Ayr will see rain at the same time.

It will leave much of England and Wales by 12pm but remain in Ireland and Scotland.

The Express reports that by 9pm, the rain will gradually move northwards to the Scottish Highlands. There will also be heavy showers in parts of western Ireland.

The Met Office is predicting further rain and showers from Tuesday to Thursday. The forecaster added that temperatures could fall on Tuesday, with “fresher air reaching all”.

The change in temperature will come after Scotland recorded its hottest day of the year so far on Saturday, hitting 32.2C in Aviemore.

Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said: “While we’ve seen the peak of the heat in this heatwave through [Saturday] it’s still going to be very warm on Sunday before turning cooler for many of us on Monday.

“So we’ve got this ridge of high pressure extending across the UK, helping to keep things settled, but out towards the west an area of low pressure moving through Sunday night and into Monday.

“So if you’re not a fan of the heat temperatures will be falling away but also bringing some heavy spells of rain, or welcome rainfall, for many of us.”

Limerick
