  2. Interesting to crunch the numbers for May and the recent spring up on the hill.

    I've got data from 2011 and this was the 3rd warmest May I've recorded, going by the mean average, but the warmest if you just take the night time lows. Freakishly warm nights yet again, continuing a consecutive run of 12 months when that's been the headline news. No real heat like recent Mays - the May max of 17.7C was actually the second lowest May max - but evidently the warm nights are bringing the overall average up regardless. Something that's happening across all calendar months now, it seems.

    Spring 2022 has come in at the warmest I've recorded so far, the overall average temperature of 8.3C nudging 2011's record-breaking spring (8.1C) into second place. But again the average night time low for the entire spring was crazy high compared to any of the previous 11 springs. Unsurprisingly therefore, there were only two days when the temperature dipped below 0C, which is pretty awful for a whole spring season, to be honest.

    The highest temperature was 17.9C, and that was way back in March. Snow fell on two days, and there were no days at all with lying snow. That's pretty awful too, even for here, but not as bad as 2014 when there was also no lying snow but only one day when snow fell.

    Interesting times! But it really would be nice to be able to say 'cooler than average' for one of these monthly / seasonal summaries. Haven't been able to do that since May 2021!

    All the best @Puffy MacCloud - hoping for a rally and a return to the hoose for another season at least..... That cup full of tablets might be enough to tip the odds the right way young lad....

    Had 19.9C a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like we are going to be even later than last year - remember how cold April/May were with multiple severe frosts? 20C+ was eventually breached for me on 30 May 2021 with a 23.7C and we thought that was late!

    Yet to get a 20C in the Lomonds either....but that's not tooooo unusual. Previous breaches as follows: 

    2021: 1st June

    2020: 20th May

    2019: 21st April

    2018: 6th May

    2017: 24th May

    2016: 4th June

    2015: 10th June

    2014: 17th June

    2013: 21st May

    2012: 26th March

    2011: 2nd June

  4. 2 inches up here, falling horizontally, but very wet and sticky. Looks great when it's intense but also looks like it'll be over soon. I actually don't mind too much if it means the higher hills farther north that have been woefully brown all winter finally get a pasting. Looks great for what appears to be the current pivot point up towards Tyndrum / Crianlarich

    Very similar numbers here. It’s been a mild but not spectacularly mild month. Mean currently running 1.5c above average at Leuchars. It may not be exciting but as others have noted the sunshine has been welcome at this time of year!

    Crikey, what a difference a short distance makes. Today the sun is blazing but aside from the odd day or two it's been ridiculously grey and sunless here since December. Jan 22's mean temp for up here on the hill is currently 4.8C, which is just a shade behind Jan 2020, my warmest January (since 2011). 

    Looking at the forecast for the final week of Jan, there's a chance this month could end up matching or even exceeding that. As has been the trend in recent years, and especially the past 12 months, it's night time temperatures that are notably higher. Easily my least snowy January too. Interesting though, how I had both my warmest and my coldest January's in the last two years.
