Edinburgh weather as Arctic plunge brings freezing temperatures to Scotland - Edinburgh Live WWW.EDINBURGHLIVE.CO.UK As north of Scotland fell below 0, Edinburgh residents will feel the chill as temperatures drop to freezing this week before snow is forecasted for the central belt. These kinds of stories are just awful. No attempt at accuracy at all

Good to know that the brown hills in April/May aren't too abnormal. And thats an interesting and informative point on the regrowth! I hadn't thought of that, but then again, I am too knowledgable on how land regenerates itself on an annual manner. I use the good ole and super scientific "eyeball" test. But it does sound like crop stress is starting to become a concern "“In Europe, as the recent cold period eases, attention has shifted to ongoing dryness after little or no rain fell in France, Germany and the UK over the past few weeks, increasing concerns over crop stress,” said Mr Lane."

A perfect day for a hike in the Borders! Loch Skeen at the top of Grey Mares Tail was just pristine today. But so dry! Not sure I’ve ever seen so much “burnt” landscape and dust in Scotland. Big pattern changes coming tomorrow. Certainly colder but just how much more precipitation as we head into May?

Also, gonna post this twitter thread as well. Interesting to watch. Could be some close to record low thickness values in parts of Scotland by tomorrow. As a reminder, the colder the air, the denser the air becomes and the distance between any two height levels also decreases. Translation, some really cold columns of air incoming!

My station shows a 42mph gust in the last hour here in Morningside. But I'd venture to say some of those gusts were 50+. My station isn't ideally located for wind detection.
