hi all. 16C on my weather station at the early hours this morning. seems to be backed up by MetO site. About 15C out there now. feels lovely!

We have a pesky bank of high cloud but it seems to be slowing shifting and big blue areas of sky forming out to the west. So hope to see the record broken today (think needs to get to 17.5C) if the cloud clear which it looks like doing.

So, warm, bright, very little wind, sun about to pop out. this is shorts and t-shirts weather for aberdonians!

Eh? I thought that was 0-10 C range. Surely 15C is bikini/bermuda's on the beach weather?

12.5c S. Cloudy and miserable looking really Certainly no dizzy heights here I'm afraid! Would love the ECM to verify for next week. I fear it won't however and backtrack towards the Gfs solution.

Yeah if it's still 16 under this bank of cloud, I can see us getting very close to the all time Scottish record for February which also Aberdeen in 1897, 17.9 if it break to allow some sun

You're right, feels so comfortable and mild outside just now

16.4c the high so far according to weatheronline. A couple of others also reporting 16c. Can the record go?

Is it still cloudy in the favoured spots?

Regards

Unbelievably I just back in office after taxi took me back via beach front and I did spy a couple paddling in the water.

Starting to think the cloud wont shift. It is bright enough though, but cant now see there being warm sunshine and cant see the record going here unfortunately. Dyce reporting 16C, same as here in the city but sun though (just checked on-line) so sun or not does not look like will make much difference. Maybe an hour window or so left then cools down later and through the night (and it looks through the rest of the week and weekend from what I can see - chilly temps in the 5 day forecast).

cheers

12.7c and feeling decidedly chilly around the house. Ive put the heating on ( :ph34r: ) No records will be broken today here that's for sure. What on earth do we have to do in east central to get rid of this perpetual God-for-saken-cloud! I have the horrible feeling that yet again we will be experiencing a repeat of the last almost two years. Not very fond of Simon Cowell, but I understood his comment whilst auditioning in Glasgow:........... "These people are grey!"

Too much goddamn cloud - if we're getting 16.4 with cloud, you'd have to think 18 would be possible if the sun breaks through but it's not looking good...

Yeah, I wonder what it would have been like if the sun was out and just imagine it summer!

Guid afternoon kilters!

Was really warm and sunny this morning when I was out and about (so no idea on temp), but definitely the warmest I have felt it in 2012 and the dog was panting (his dark winter coat and sunshine not mixing well). But, then by this afternoon it had clouded right over and a lot cooler.

Hmm.....I am poised to do just that if this mildness keeps up.

I was thinking the same; I love them but when it gets really warm they are too soft for hard cornering etc. If I needed to do that for some reason of course, I mean not that I would do such things normally... :whistling:

Anyhoo, I shall book an appointment for them to be changed at T+120.

If you do that, and Blitzen arranges to have the snaw blower retired to the loft. :acute:

Hit one too many potholes today, and now have a £400 suspension repair bill :angry:

No record this afternoon perhaps but surely last nights temps must have been about the warmest overnight Winter temps recorded in Scotland. Saw 15.3c from Perthshire at midnight, higher at Aboyne with 15.9c and Aberdeen Airport had 16.1C at 0400 hrs.

Here we got 14.5C this afternoon.

Just been reading KevBrad's report on TWO of the blizzard in January 1913 when that same part of Perthshire got 31 inches of snow. Quite a difference! Know which I'd prefer at this time of year.

Maximum of 15.7C here today. A personal record for February/winter since I started recording in 2009. It could have been so much higher though without the cloud. Incredibly mild last night and was 14.5C and rising when I went to bed at 11:45pm.

Well temp back to 11C now. Missed out on any records I think from what i saw around the favoured sports. My garden therm maced at 16.8C (think official ABZ temp was 16.4C this aftenoon, and 161C at 4am this morning!! Cloudy pretty much all day too) - anyway, very pleasant - will happily take that in the summer!

Anyway, thanks SS for posting the charts. Chilly spell. Not ideal direction from imby but will take it! Hopefully will get the ski resorts back on track at the very least, and i guess away from immediate coasts most may do well out of it. Hope this develops further rather than vanishing.

Got a good 15C today with some welcome sunshine, the snow of 10 days ago a puzzling memory. Plenty of warm mud around, getting a domestic earbashing for repeat offences recently.

I too was thinking of taking the winters off as they'll shred in these temps but they'll stay on for now - although I don't see more than sleet at low levels from the wondrous GFS 12z - and it's all too random yet anyroads. I'll set the end of March for taking them off, lazy decision as the MoT is due then.

Well it made it to 15c here today with sunny intervels and a moderate wind. Currently 9.9c. Fine day for mucking out the folds 150 tons of dung produces a fair aroma which seems to have stuck to everyone. I usually like partially emptying the folds at this time of the year as it is usually cooler and the aroma not so strong but with all the ammonia was I really soporific this afternoon. High summer anyone. Well at least we can open the gates more easily now. Just in as we had to finish scraping up by hand any spilt dung as we have a farm inspection tomorrow. So paperwork tomorrow for me and young Mr.Northernlights can feed the cattle while I smile politely to the inspector .

I've done a fair bit of time on and off for the same over the years. Just can't seem to break the cycle of reform then re-offence. :sorry:

You're welcome to it! Plenty of heavy smells around here too. Also visited one naughty man throwing dead lambs and gralloch into a trench open to a burn, as well as burning the remains of an unharvested wheat field. Aaaargh. :aggressive:

Yeah. I can do no good this week, getting rather depressing. :fool:
