MoonlightShadow Oh, I didn’t know that, thanks.

Sussexstorm87 Same here. Told my wife to keep her hand on wine glass at all times, and she proved very understanding.

Biblical clearance from the south around 1600 to give a warm sunny late afternoon. Past 24 hours only bought 6mm to nearby Eskdalemuir, enough to dampen the soil but no more. If tomorrow’s rain stays to the south tomorrow then this will have been another damp squib ‘breakdown’, here at least.

StingJet I would imagine that they would help with soundproofing too?

‘Tropical night’ at sites in NI, South Uist in the Hebrides fell just below 20, but currently leads the UK with 23.1. You’ll not see that very often!

Frigid Take a wander over to the Scotland group for lots of useful climate data on today’s events.

Phil Connors Lots of social media accounts of melting tarmac in D&G. Have no knowledge whatsoever of roads infrastructure, but perhaps need to upgrade the ‘mix’ to cope with the marked temp increase we are experiencing?

A Winter's Tale Thanks for the reminder…..we’d been thinking about a day out tomorrow, Threave Gardens it is!

Aviemore 30.8, Aboyne (and here) 30.2. Highest since 2022?

Aviemore 29.2 is new year highest for Sc. Has a local been breathing on the thermometers?

Ricky67 Hi Ricky. Easier for you to check the original data. Google SEPA rainfall and its top result. On the map zoom in a couple of times until you find your required site. Select it and you get a site box with rainfall in past 36 hours. Click on get data and a new box appears. Gives site data for this year by the hour, day, month and year. Any problems let me know.

StingJet StingJet Super capture. May had the correct NW/SE split with an almost permanent area of cloud down there. Unfortunately the split reversed in June, as we were repeatedly and gleefully reminded. Not that common to suit everybody.

*Stormforce~beka* Yes indeed. I’ve tried without success to find out the situation on the Isle of Wight. I’m not aware of any large rivers, and perhaps no industries requiring large amounts of water (?), but it seems they’ve just got on with the drought without whinging about things.

Just seen a news report that max temp could exceed the current year high of 29 at Grangemouth, not the 28.9 originally reported from Drumnadrochit. A little research shows that the Refinery site did indeed report 29.1 on 20th June. The site must report in arrears rather than live. Will prob be exceeded next few days anyway!

Just a few days until the middle of the Met summer.
