Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020

[Mair Snaw]

Clear blue sky, slight breeze and a definite chill in the air. Rest of the week look a lot like Autumn instead of late summer.

3.5c at 6.00am this morning but clear skies, autumn is here .

Air frost developed in Northern Scotland. The first I think away from mountains. So indeed! 

[Kirkcaldy Weather]

Well what to say about tomorrow’s weather NE wind gusting 50+ mph   and lots more rain certainly not needed, adding to the 149mm here so far this month

All that precipitation and a North East wind.. oh if only it was January.

The calm before the storm quite literaly. Tomorrow looks like a complete write off

Oh come on, you know it would end up cold but a sleety mess at best.

It's gonna be an absolute washout, utterly dire day ahead.

Noticed a trend this August. Seems to be Every Tuesday this month that it's been dire (what the first august tuesday a washout) second the huge storms last tuesday was very wet too and now tomorrow's abomination

[Northernlights]

Lovely  harvest day blue skies and low humidity means we could cut into the evening and with two combines we have over half our crop cut in a day. A bit busy.Lots of nice dust

[Hawesy]

Not much to add really. Today was cool and mostly cloudy with afternoon temperatures around 14c. Pretty grim for August. And that’s nothing compared to tomorrow’s horror show.

I normally try to accentuate the positive but this August has been dire and the summer overall a poor one. 

[Norrance]

Och well here we go.

 

Meanwhile down here near Kirkcudbright it felt warm in the sun today out of the wind. Warm enough that loads of people were in for a swim this afternoon. Tomorrow looks a bit different though.

Another autumnal day, getting a bit annoying now...

Max of 14.5c, dry but extensive cloud bar some sunny periods in the morning.

Light winds, starting to freshen this evening.

No outdoor work tomorrow looking at the forecast.

[Sanserit]

Today is the first day in quite some time that I've not been able to sit with the patio doors open, instead, I've put the heating on tonight. Dogs' equafleeces looked out for their walk tomorrow, I have a feeling they're going to need a bath too but shhh, don't tell them!

Feel for all those in Stonehaven who are still recovering from the flooding 2 weeks ago as it looks like they'll be hit again tomorrow

Another dire, miserable day in an absolutely rotten summer in the East.

[Mr Frost]

Let’s just pretend it’s August 25th 2019. 

 

Current weather...11C, heavy rain and wind gusts of 30/35mph.

[NUT]

[Norrance]

Uppers would be a bit marginal..

As for todays weather.. utterly awful just like the entire summer here really, it has been awful and I'm struggling to see it getting any better if I'm honest.

Looks like I may have to switch the underfloor heating on this week. The temperature inside has dropped below 20c heating is set at 18c so could imagine it will drop down and kick the heating on over night tonight. 

Mrs Snaw has been baking again. 

[Ravelin]

I'm considering lighting the wood burner. Not that it's that cold in the house but it just feels comforting on such a miserable, sodden day.

[Mair Snaw]

If it wasn't for the flowers in the garden and the trees being in leaf you could easy think its October/November.. foul day.

[101_North]

Somebody make it stop! Lashing rain has now given way to horizontal drizzly pish in a strong wind! It's freezing and the lights have been on in the house for about 3hrs now! Hideous! I have to keep reminding myself it's August!! 

[Quinach]

Summer really is going out with a whimper.

Copious rain, howling gale, max of 13c (that before the rain started mid-morning).

Kids moaning about the cold and getting homework from school.

Not a day to remember!

[Northernlights]

As above very dreich day especially this afternon with a maximum of 13c and drizzly rain. Grain made malting so first lorry loaded today with two more expected tomorrow.We were so lucky to get the weather of yesterday making it possible to keep harvesting to 10.00pm . Almost a happy farmer!!!
