Over the last 14 days maximum temperatures here have ranged from just
16.4C to 19.8C with mean 18.3C and st. dev. 1.14C.

Highest all month just 21.8C - very poor indeed. Hopefully September
will do better.

At least minima have been a bit more interesting. It got down to 5.4C
last night - the lowest temperature, by 0.1C, since 1.3C on 7th June.

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

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.

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!

But perhaps not the most thunder-free city tomorrow evening.
Rather a nice situation bubbling for your area Richard.
Good luck!

Hi, Richard,

High just 23.0C here - very disappointing. This could be rectified today, if
the fog clears!

Our low was 3.5C with -0.9C on the grass. BBC CEEFAX p401 forecast had 4C
for us, so pretty good imho.

Mean max is running at -0.4C and mean min +0.1C (1971-2000 means), sunshine
103% and rain 72%. The rain figure could well be altered dramatically before
the final reading for August at 09Z tomorrow, though. Amazing how often this
happens!

Best wishes,
