The good weather is set to last for much of the country for the next couple of days with Scotland enjoying the heatwave that has baked Europe this June. 

Hot air from continental Europe will bring in drier, sunnier and warmer conditions - and Glasgow and its surrounding area, with the mercury set to hit 24 degrees on Thursday and Friday.

The pollen count will remain particularly high for the next three days.

Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey said: “The continent is seeing some very high temperatures, with record-breaking temperatures expected across France, Spain and Belgium.

“We are not seeing temperatures as hot as Europe, but it will be warm for the UK.”

Ms Maxey said: “People who suffer from hay fever might feel quite uncomfortable.”
