It's not been at all warm up here. Highest so far this September just
17.4C with today managing only 16.6C. These figures could only be
described as average for early September. On the same Saturday last
year 25.1C was recorded at Dyce.

A pleasant maximum of 21.5ºC in Wishaw today. Tomorrow is looking better
still.
Hopefully this warmth will spread in your direction tomorrow Richard, but I
guess the breeze coming off the cool North sea is the main reason that your
temperatures are hovering around average?
The Dyce figure from last year is very exceptional, probably a one in twenty
year event?

Which do you prefer in winter, mild fohn days? Or cold and snowy spells? I
definitely preffer the latter. And "Indian summers", whilst enjoyable at
the time, may not help the chances of proceeding winters being colder than
average. The north sea can take a while to cool down.
Although, the warm autumns in 1978 and 1995 might disprove any association.
