Should Scots be worried about future heatwaves?

Extreme heat is forecast for much of England and Wales next week, with a danger to life or potential serious illness - but the amber alert has not extended to Scotland.

It will still be warm - 29C (84.2F) in Dumfries and Galloway on Tuesday when our southern neighbours experience a peak of 36C (96.8F).

This, perhaps, is nothing new. Scotland has always been colder and wetter on average than England - but it seems like the gap has widened. Has it?

Meteorologists say, not exactly - but some of the effect could be due to warmer air "spilling" further north when there is a heatwave in places like Spain and North Africa.

BBC Scotland weather forecaster Joy Dunlop said this was the simple explanation for the current north/south divide.

This week, she said there is high pressure in the south which keeps conditions solid and settled, but Scotland is experiencing a series of weather fronts coming in from the west, which bring cloud and rain from the Arctic.

From the beginning of next week, she said, Scotland will experience warmer weather as the hot air travels higher towards the central belt - however, there still will be a difference of around 20C between the northern isles and the hottest parts of England.
