  1. Morning all, overnight low +1.1c so still waiting on our first air frost (which came on Dec 8th last year).
  2. The wind has died down here, partly sunny skies and 7c/-2c. I'm just glad the outlook is drier after a miserably wet autumn in eastern Scotland.
  3. Afternoon all, A very mild and breezy 36 hours with the temperature locked in between 11c and 14c. A strong and gusty wind which is now veering WNWly. Cooler conditions now filtering down from the north.
  4. The heavy showers forecast for Angus have in fact affected Fife too. Wet again in NE Fife with lots of standing water on the roads and potholes. Im on holiday next week and heading up to Crieff. Praying for slightly drier weather!
  5. Low this morning of +1.8c, again very cold for October here on the coast. -1c was the low up at Leuchars. @Kirkcaldy Weather I don’t have a reliable rain gauge but going by the SEPA figures we were slightly above your 3 day total at 30.8mm. That compares with just shy of 60mm on the 7th/8th which explains why the roads were much worse here earlier in the month!
  6. Should be okay. They were worse around here during the wet spell two weekends ago. The rain has been steady rather than heavy locally. The A92 is still closed at Rathillet though. Hope the day goes well. The screenshot from SEPA shows how it was much wetter here a couple of weeks back
  7. Amazing the range of rainfall totals across relatively short distances in Fife (from the SEPA website). We've had 21mm in the last 36 hours (at St Monan's which is about a mile from me) but further down the coast at Kinghorn just 4mm. Strathkinnes, which is near St Andrews has had 54mm and then when you cross the Tay the numbers really ramp up. Highest I've seen is 177mm (Waterside Perth, NW of Edzell).
  8. Bit wild out although the wind more of an issue than the rainfall here in Pittenweem. IMG_6771.mov
  9. Rain back on here, I suspect the dry slot will be short-lived! Winds gusting to 75mph Inverbervie and 63 Leuchars.
  10. The rain band has shifted north for now, it’s dry here in Pittenweem. Southern edge looks close to Dundee for now. Wind gusting to 70mph ish on the immediate coast.
  11. Good luck with the wedding plans! We’re just outside the Amber zone for rain but St Andrews is inside it. All a bit academic of course, it’s going to be nasty. Stay safe!
  12. Yes it was stunning. Cold night here too, unusual to have to scrape the car here in coastal East Neuk in mid-October. I mean we didn’t have our first air frost until December 8th last year! Min was 2.1c here in Pittenweem but -1c along the road at Leuchars. Feels nice now in the sun and with no wind.
  13. I drove up to Andrews and back but probably shouldn’t have. A lot of standing water in NE Fife. Staying home for the rest of the day.
  14. Wow. Awful scenes. Very wet here this morning, heaviest spell yet. We were sitting on 75mm for this event but this morning’s deluge will have added to that. Given we only average ~650mm a year in the coastal East Neuk it’s a substantial chunk of the annual rainfall.
  15. @Norrance Sometimes following the weather is a practically useful as well as fun hobby! Hope everyone gets out. Saw the photos from Beinglas campsite on the West Highland Way (a favourite). It’s basically under water. A number of road closures now, things are getting serious. Take care, folks.
  16. Yes indeed, walk up the hill and then to Killiecrankie and back along the river to Pitlochry.
  17. Got out today before the rains. Was meant to be camping in Aberfeldy Fri & Sat night but changed my mind
  18. Yeah, similar here. I was down south on Sunday but it was pretty bad here with a couple of downed trees. Anyway not a pleasant evening!
  19. Warmest day of the year here in NE Fife. 25c at home in Pittenweem and 27c at Leuchars. Lovely!
  20. Haar and then low cloud for most of the day but it broke up for a while this afternoon. Max was 18c.
  21. Yes same here, some 7c cooler (18c v 25c) than yesterday afternoon due to the North Sea Aircon. Still a pleasant early Autumn day but the wind is noticeable!
  22. Another lovely September day and warmer, 25c at Leuchars (27c at Aberdeen and Aboyne). August is forgotten. It will turn cooler here after tomorrow with the risk of haar as the wind shifts.
