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. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham |

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. |

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. alex. |
