Edinburgh's Heatwave: Enjoy the Warmth, Be Wildfire Aware

0:00Edinburgh just hit its hottest day of the year so far, with clear skies pushing temps to 17 degrees Celsius today. That's a real scorcher for the city, beating out the usual chill and giving folks a taste of summer vibes. Things dip a bit over the weekend, but next week ramps up even more, hitting 18 degrees by Friday, April 1st. Glasgow's set to top it at 19 degrees, and sunny spells with the light breeze keep it feeling nice through the lows of 6 or 7 degrees. After all that cold, wet, windy weather, locals are soaking it up, hitting parks and making the most of these rare warm stretches that feel straight. Out of southern Europe, heads up though, Scottish fire and rescue is warning of a very high wildfire risk this weekend across Edinburgh. Steer clear of any outdoor fires, and call them quick if you spot trouble. So grab that sunshine smartly while it lasts, Scotland's warming up nicely with more heat in store.
