Record wet summer for Scotland
August 25, 2010 · Filed Under Weather
It’s late August and still waiting for summer to arrive – though it feels today like Autumn is coming instead!
Just noticed a piece on the BBC website happen to mention that last month was the third wettest July for Scotland on record:
Inverewe’s Jurassic tree grove endures wet summer
The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) site had its coldest temperatures in more than 30 years over the winter.
And last month was third wettest July in Scotland on record.
Not seen it mentioned before, so thought worth taking a note of.
I guess the jet stream has come south again this year? A portent of things to come? Will the Highlands ever experience summer again?!
