One of the good things about the UK generally and Scotland in particular is that we don't have a climate, we have "weather", and a wide variety of it.
Over the past few days that's been demonstrated fully. Most of the week was hot and sunny with temperatures regularly reaching 22.5 degrees Celsius.
On Friday 8th there was a change to overcast, but still mild conditions and steady light rain giving a "soft focus" feel to the day and temperatures of around 15 degrees Celsius.
Saturday 9th May brought heavy showers of rain but with similar conditions.
Today, Sunday 10th, has seen a complete change as a plunge of unusually cold air for May pushing south over Scotland. In this spot on Thursday evening I was sweating in a tee-shirt, today it was 1.5 degrees Celsius with a strong and cold northerly breeze.....
...bringing frequent heavy showers of snow, some of which gave quite hostile conditions briefly. The variety of Scotland's weather, you've got to love it!
Yep. Sometimes every season in a day. Met office TV said it was the warmest, driest April just passed on record.
ReplyDeleteI' d agree with their assessment Bob, it was a belter of a month!
