Edinburgh weather: Met Office reveals when Edinburgh locals will enjoy 22C sunshine as warm weather returns

According to the Met Office, Wednesday will see plenty of sunshine in the Capital, with highs of 18C in the afternoon.

Thursday will also feel warm, although the sun won't make an appearance until late in the afternoon. Much of the day is expected to stay dry, albeit cloudy, with an 18C peak.

It will be a mixed bag of weather on Friday as things take a slight turn for the worse. Light rain is forecast in the afternoon, although it will at least be warm, with a high of 19C.

According to the Met Office, Edinburgh is set to see plenty of sunshine over the next few days.

Mercifully, the weekend looks set to be a good one, with plenty of sunshine on both Saturday and Sunday, with the temperature reaching a toasty 20C. Sunday looks like being the better of the two, with far less cloud than the previous day.

And the good weather will continue into next week, with Monday seeing highs of 21C and lots of bright sunshine across Edinburgh.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Harris said: “In stark contrast to the first half of June, where temperatures have widely been below average, we are expecting to see a steady uptick through the second half of this week, rising to around or above average, and it will likely feel very warm for those in the sunshine.”
