... I see that the MetO he-

put 'Cassley' as the lowest with 2.50C. I am ashamed to admit I had
to look
up where 'Cassley' actually is (Sutherland / north of Scotland),
though I see
from the maps (and a more general search on facilities etc.) that
the name
(for the village) is given as 'Invercassley', so perhaps this AWS
is upriver,
along the Cassley somewhere, not necessarily at Invercassley -
anyone
familiar with the site?

Must admit that I had to look it up as well. I've never heard of the
place. It
certainly is in a location where low minima will often occur. If
Phil Gurr is
reading this he might be able to give a bit more info on the site.
It's only
about 10 miles from him.



.... looking around further, particularly via the SEPA site, it looks
as if the site is co-located with the gauging station at the
confluence of the Cassley & Oykel - SEPA list it as being 'Rosehall'
which makes some sense if this is correct. Certainly a place for low
temperatures but probably beaten on many occasions by places such as
Altnaharra which is why the name hasn't registered with me. I see that
the station often comes up in rainfall studies.
