Better weather today - and a mid-afternoon earth tremor that woke the place up. 

[Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020]

Evening zen sky after a wild couple of days. The week ahead is looking pretty decent.

Gin clear skies. A belter of an evening here after a cracking day and a max of 19.1°C.

13.0°C and 42.2mm for me please.

Hope everyone is keeping well. Another fine day here with lots of decent sunshine - bit hazier as the afternoon wore on. Reached 14.6°C after yesterday's colder blip and an overnight low of -2.1°C.

Very dry month so far, with only 4.4mm of rain recorded here to date.

As others have mentioned, the forecast out to the end of the month is looking settled and very dry - am just starting to wonder if we could land a repeat of 2018's fine spring and first two thirds of summer, with a recurring pattern of high pressure. Would be a wee tonic for folk given the current wider situation. 

Lovely day topped off with a belter of a sunset. 

Tak tent and keep well, fellow kilters. 

[Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020]

Morning, fellow kilters. A glorious morning here. Sunny and still, after a slight air frost overnight. Tak tent and keep well.

Compares with my rain gauge near Halkirk getting just 76mm so far this month. In the few years I've been working on and off up there, I don't recall any really wet spell.

Coming back down to the Black Isle this afternoon, Easter Ross fields are as flooded as they were when I went north on Monday and we still have a moat at HC Towers - but we've had little compared to most folk here further south.

Next week is still looking wintry.

We really have taken a doing this month.

 

Just imagine if it had all fallen as snaw...

 

*sigh*

A wee trip to Aviemore with PG junior. Wed: rain. Thurs: beefy snow showers and sunshine - felt like proper winter. Fri: back to persisting it down. 

Flooding in the countryside surrounding the A9 on the drive hame looked significant. 

Back in Comrie, rainfall for the month so far is 250.3mm (30 year average is 79.1mm - for the whole month). 

Starting to wonder if we're heading into (or have reached?) record breaking territory a la December 2015.

The Earn remains scarily high and it's hosing it down. Again. 

[Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020]

After lots of snaw falling but not really settling earlier in the week, we've had this little lot since 9pm last night. 30 year monthly average for February is 79.1mm. 

This 'wonter' can do one.

 

[Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020]

Third measurable fall of snaw this winter. Frost overnight and then the snaw started before 9am this morning. Has turned to cauld rain in the past hour, so now it's all drip drip drip...

Hoping February and March can rescue what has been a dire winter for snaw and cauld here so far.

The closest analogy in recent times, I would go with is November 2012, infact Autumn 2012. A much wetter than average and overall coolish season. 

Bank.

[Scotland/Alba Weather Discussion 2019]

A second November ice day (very unusual) yesterday after the cauldest night of the winter at -7.7°C (max of -1.7°C). 

Rinse and repeat last night: min of -6.5°C. Happy Meteorological Winter, Kilters! 

Next week to ten days looking a bit more mixed (mildish muck) and then look to the north-west I reckon...

[December 2019 C.E.T. and EWP forecast contests -- start of the 2019-2020 competition year]

3.0°C and 88.0mm for me please. 

[Scotland/Alba Weather Discussion 2019]

Ice day! A hard frost all day after an overnight low of -7.0C, the lowest minimum of the autumn/winter so far. Freezing drizzle this evening and still bang on freezing point just now.

Reminding me of the lead in to winter 2012-13 at this stage.  

[Scotland/Alba Weather Discussion 2019]

A covering of the white stuff here overnight. Started as sleet around half 8 last night and turned to wet snaw as it became heavier. Mostly all melted now but still chilly oot. Currently 2.3°C/3°C.
