After the mid-week peak, the weather will begin to cool slightly with the far north of Scotland expected to be cloudier, and coastal areas experience dips in temperature as sea breezes develop.

There may be a chance of wet and windier weather in the far north of Scotland towards the end of the week and the heat may spark an isolated thunderstorm during the first week of July, but the majority of the country will stay settled and dry.
