Region July record All-time record
Scotland 32.8 deg C Dumfries 32.9 deg C Greycrook 9/8/2003 2/7/1908

The predicted regional maximum temperatures this week are:
Scotland: 31 deg C

Met office website is actually forcasting 34C for Edinburgh on Wednesday -
which would smash the Scottish record.
Aberdeen reached a pretty exceptional 29ºC today I noticed, I'm sure that's
verging on a record for them.
My own site record of +32.4ºC set in 1995 would certainly be under threat if
Edinburgh clocked a 34C, but somehow I just can't see these values being
achieved, perhaps 31C or 32C.

I do expect a new July site maximum here in the next couple of days, If it
weren't for a fairly cloudy afternoon we could have got near it today. The
July record is +29.4ºC, achieved twice in 1995. But 31ºC was recorded
locally in 1983 (before my time).
What is also notable is the humidity levels in this part of the country
today, high dew points, higher still predicted tomorrow... uncomfortable
tonight.
