Prestwick recorded 30.8 C ( 87.5 F ) on Thursday , which seemed to be the hottest spot in Scotland then. Now we are in what threatens to be 48 hrs of rain or more, and only 14 deg C.
The article on the Met Office site , about the West of Scotland climate , mentions 32.2 deg C at both Prestwick and Kilmarnock on 29th July 1948 as temperature extremes , which makes me wonder how near to a June record for the west , Thursday's 30.8 deg C is.
