Temperatures are set to soar in Edinburgh later this week following a recent cold snap.
While the temperature hovered around freezing in recent days, and failed to climb any higher than 6C today, Monday, November 24, it is set to more than double to a balmy 14C on Thursday, according to the latest forecast from the Met Office.
The current cold snap is supposed to continue into Tuesday, starting at 2C at 7am, hitting a high of 5C in the afternoon, before dropping down to just 1C at night. Although, the sun is expected to shine all day in Edinburgh.
An overcast day is currently expected on Wednesday, with light rain around lunchtime, and temperatures of between 4C and 7C in the morning. However, the warmer air is expected to come to Edinburgh from the west as the day progresses, hitting 9C at 5pm and 10C by 11pm.
The warmer weather will continue into Thursday, sitting at 12C at the start of the day before reaching a high of 14C in the afternoon. A cloudy day is currently expected, with a chance of light rain showers around lunchtime. Wind speeds of up to 15mph are also forecast. The warmth will fade into the night, dropping back to 9C by 11pm.
It appears Thursday will be a one-off for this week, with the unseasonable warmth set to disappear on Friday, as the Met Office is currently forecasting sunny intervals all day with temperatures between 6C and 9C.
More seasonal weather is expected into the weekend, with Saturday expected to be cloudy with some sunny intervals, and the temperature between 5C and 7C. While on Sunday, the Met Office is currently forecasting a cloudy day in Edinburgh with a chance of light rain at midday, and temperatures between 5C and 8C.
