Only one thing guaranteed, Scotland will be wet and cloudy, with the occasional good day. 3050, 4050 and 5050 will be the same .

Funny thing the changing of the seasons. We got a dog in February, so between morning and evening walks the changes have been a lot more apparent this year, both daylight and the changes in plants, trees etc. One thing to consider in all this is usable daylight. They say that every place on earth receives the same amount of daylight per year, which is true (I think), but more importantly, is how much usable daylight do you get? It's now 49 days since the summer solstice and it's still light here at 9pm. That will continue to be the case for another week or so. So for almost 1/3 of the year, it is light until 9pm, meaning for Mon to Fri people we still have time to finish work, eat and then still have at least 2-3hrs of usable daylight. Compare that to the couple of years I lived in Brisbane. The latest sunset in early January is 18.47. So you get home from work and it's pitch black by the time you want to do anything, 32c usually, but dark. No long lazy evenings outside. And in their winter it's dark before 5pm, so no different to being in Scotland. So all in all, we do not bad for usable daylight, particularly those doing a 9-5...just wish it could be 4-5c warmer and less cloud

Loved the video. What direction is the camera facing WNW or something like that? Also, any idea what was rising as the sun was setting, a planet? -

Anyone able to give me some guidance on what in the models has caused Sat & Sun in Glasgow to go from being forecast at 27c and sunny yesterday to 21c and cloudy today? Is it just the position of the high? -

I would just like to say a big FU to the British weather Heading from Glasgow to Cambridge area for a staycation tomorrow, one of the key things being the search for better weather. In fact I'm getting quite the opposite -

To the 29th April Glasgow has 8.6mm of rain and 230.4 hours of sunshine, after today that's likely to be 9mm of rain and 237hrs of sunshine. Making it both the driest and sunniest month in my records going back to 2008. Previous bests being May 2017 with 229.5hrs and April 2020 with 13.6mm Can't complain really, despite it being a bit nippy. Regarding the post above about sunniest months, in Glasgow it's May, April, June, July then august. May is quite a bit ahead as well. -

I love sunshine and heat more than most. Despite lacking much heat April has been pretty good as far as I'm concerned, sunshine way above average, rainfall way below average. Long may it continue. would much rather have this than the odd warm and sunny day, makes planning outdoor activities so much easier. Plus an average of 8hrs of sunshine a day is great for my tomato plants, just means bringing them in every night! -
Hi folks, stunning day in Glasgow, two in a row. even managed to sneak my tomato seedlings outside for an hour for some early sun! With SEPA and Meteociel now done, is there anyway of tacking sunshine hours, max/min temps, rainfall in the Glasgow area? Presumably the station that Meteociel used still reports somewhere?

Any suggestions for sites to track rainfall totals since SEPA is still down?
