Scotland has reached temperatures of 25C (77F) in several areas, marking the first day of heatwave conditions for September, with Kinlochewe and Aviemore being the hottest spots. The warm weather has attracted tourists and boosted local businesses, particularly ice cream vendors, as visitors enjoy the unseasonably pleasant conditions. This heatwave has made Scotland warmer than many popular European destinations, including Ibiza and Valencia. However, a slight dip in temperatures is expected soon, with forecasts predicting a return to cooler weather next week due to an incoming storm. The Met Office has noted that this is the highest temperature recorded in September since 2019. Overall, this warm spell has provided a welcome change after a disappointing summer for many in Scotland.
