Been a hot day for Scotland

VERY RARE HEAT – Tyndrum has recorded 27.2C today. It's extremely rare for Scotland to exceed 27C this late in summer. The temperature has only exceeded 27C during the last week of August on 3 occasions in the last 30 years, and just 11 times in the last 100! pic.twitter.com/7e6o61QU89

Plenty of sunshine across the UK yesterday.

Yesterday's #sunshine totals from the 03xxx SYNOP sites.#Tiree the sunniest place for the 3rd day in a row, narrowly pipping Shannon Airport, with 13.3 hours.

This the sunniest day since Jul 25th, and 92% of the theoretical maximum for Aug 24th. pic.twitter.com/kVXMDONx95

all eyes on 99L in the Alantic

Now that's what you call a wide spread of #forecast model projections – peak intensities for #99L from midrange tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane!

It's due to uncertainty over where the disturbance will initially consolidate. The further north, the higher its potential. pic.twitter.com/sXm4TZXvhl

A lot to keep track of in the tropics over the coming days. We continue to be most concerned with what is now invest area #99L in the Caribbean Sea. This one has potential to develop and bring impacts to the northwest Caribbean, Yucatan and elsewhere over the coming days. pic.twitter.com/6ORYlvzuOX
