Description

Edinburgh’s turning into a heatwave hotspot this weekend, with temps hitting 24°C on Sunday and 21°C Saturday — and it’s not going away anytime soon. The UK’s seen its longest dry spell in a century, with central and southeast England getting zero rain for 14 days straight, and somewhere hitting or exceeding 30°C every day for 11 straight days. But while folks are basking in the sun, wildfires are raging — firefighters battling a blaze near Nethy Bridge in the Cairngorms for three days, plus another at Fauldhouse Moor. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has issued a “very high” wildfire warning until Monday, urging extreme caution: no outdoor fires or barbecues in at-risk zones — one spark could spell disaster.
