Not unsurprisingly the north of Scotland saw up to 30 nights with air frost in what has been a very mild Winter. There are a dozen or so coastal sites around the IONA that got away with a frost free winter including places such as Fair Isle in...
The vernal equinox occurred precisely at 0349 UTC this morning and to help celebrate the fact it’s been another sunny start with Mediterranean blue skies across many northern parts of the country. Pressure has continued to build strongly overnight and the barometer has now topped 1037 hPa across...
Three consecutive air frosts up here in the Highland which I don’t think this has happened in this part of the world all winter and goes to show just how mobile it’s been. The frost was severe at Altnaharra, getting down to -7.3°C, but frost prone spots across...
