August has been a bit of a disappointment here also.
The absoloute maximum for August is standing at 23.0ºC, recorded on the 8th.
On the low side, but the equivalent value from 2001 was 1ºC lower.
The lowest maximum set on the 26th of just +12.8ºC is statistically
interesting (a new site record), if not exactly enjoyable.
The mean for the month is just below the LTA, with only 2001 having a cooler
August in the last ten years.

This is only the first year I have been recording but looking at
figures for Dyce it looks like being the coolest August since 1999 with
August 1998 also being cooler. Its still been warmer than all of the
Augusts of the 1960s apart from 1969.

However, I think tomorrow afternoon and evening could have extremely
interesting weather in store for these parts.

Hopefully, but we probably won't see the best of the thunder up here
(as usual). However not having had any overhead thunder this year
anything will do!
