I was half expecting it to be uncomfortably hot


Close to it here : 26.5C - my 2nd highest ever September temperature,
with my old record of 27C looking certain to fall tomorrow.


And it did - easily. Topped out at 28.9°C.

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.

Richard Slessor,
Aberdeen.


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?


It reached 20.4ºC here at 10:30am today but the afternoon was cooler
with some mist and fog developing by evening. 25ºC inland at Aboyne
but at Inverbervie, which was shrouded in fog all day, the highest was
just 14ºC.

The Dyce figure from last year is very exceptional, probably a one in twenty
year event?


21st September 1998 also had 25.1ºC but that was the first 25ºC (in
September) since 1959. The record for Aberdeen is, I believe, 27.6ºC
on 1st September 1906. That same day it got to an astounding 32.2ºC at
Gordon Castle, Fochabers!! As far as I know that was the highest temp
recorded in N.E. Scotland (in any month) until 32.5ºC was reached at
Forres on 9th August 2003.

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.

Alex.


I probably prefer the cold, snowy days - more picturesque - but I enjoy
the mild fohn days as well. It's particularly good to have the two
types occuring close together such as in January 2003. 17.2ºC was
reached at Dyce on the 26th but four days later it was snowing heavily
with a max near 0ºC.

Richard,
Aberdeen.

RE. 26/01/03 . I remember thinking how strange it would be to walk along
Aberdeen beach in shorts and T'shirt in late January, but apparently people
did just that.
Thanks for all the info' in your reply Richard.
