Gordon Rodden, 57, from Govanhill, who was out walking his dog, Mia, said: “I don’t mind the heat.

“I don’t come out in the heat much myself, but I’m more worried about her (Mia) because she has a wee heart condition. I have to be careful not to over-exercise her in this weather.

“I don’t care about the heat either way, but as long as Mia is okay, I’m okay. I have a fan for her that’s on 24/7 at the moment.”

Laura Burns, 45, and Allan Drysdale, 42, who live in King's Park, said: “We’re loving it, it’s great.”

“Unless you’re walking up a hill!"

Laura went on to say: “I love the heat; I love going abroad.”

Whilst Allan said: “No warmer than this for me, this is nice like this.

“It’s nice that we have seasons, it means you enjoy summer more because days like this are special.”

The pair planned to spend their day going for lunch, grabbing a coffee, and going for “a stoat about".

Rory Inglis, 29, from Battlefield said: “I’m working the whole day, pretty much, so just out at lunch with the dog.

“Good weather is great but I do not cope well in the heat, being ginger and pale.

“It’s lovely but it’s probably too hot for me. Getting burnt is usually a worry for me, so I wear sunscreen and try to stick to the more shady parts when walking.

“Daisy is enjoying the weather but she’s definitely affected by the heat and is not able to do as much."
