We are reliably informed that if you want to plan your next BBQ then you can depend on 8 July for good weather in Edinburgh.
It is predicted that the weather on 8 July will be 26 degrees C.
The word from the weathermen is that this is to be a very hot summer, the hottest in fact for one hundred years. Of course they get it wrong, and we are not giving you any guarantees whatsoever….
But outdoor heating specialists Glowing-Embers.co.uk has pinpointed which day of the year is statistically the hottest. After painstakingly going back through 30 years of average temperatures, they’ve found it’s a sizzling 26°C on the 8th of July in Scotland, which this year falls on a Friday.
This will be perfect for holding a party on your decking, heading to the nearest rooftop bar, or preparing an almighty barbecue in your back garden, without worrying about having to get up for work the next morning. If it’s sunny of course.
‘If there’s one thing we can rely on,’ says Richard Fewings, Director of Glowing-Embers.co.uk, ‘is that we can never really rely on the weather! But we’re going to keep everything crossed that this year, we do have a Great British Summer.’ And if not, you can always keep your outdoor spaces warm in other ways, with patio heaters, or a cosy chimenea, from Glowing-Embers.co.uk.
Huddling around a fire pit does have its own special charm, after all! And best of all, you won’t get sunstroke…
