Our seasons appear to be mixed up just now, and I have seen cooler maximum temperatures during the middle of summer, than what most of us have being seeing in recent days, and I can even recall that it was only last year (2015) that there was snow on the Cairngorms on the day of the SUMMER (yes, I do mean summer) solstice instead of that snow coming to us just now at the very time that we would expect to at the very least, start to be getting that snow.
On top of that, Richard from Aberdeen is actually quite right when he expresses just how crap our weather seems to be for most of the time, and I certainly wouldn't knock him for stating exactly how he feels about that (this is a moaning thread, after all). In many ways, it really is just the same old weather that we get throughout the year and because of that, our seasons seem to be becoming increasing indistinguishable with increasingly similar temperatures all year round and on top of that, our winters tend to be dark, dismal, mild and virtually snowless whilst our summers tend to consist of almost constantly grey skies.
That appears to be quite a depressing scenario and yet, that is the 'modern era' for you, which is mentioned so much on these forums.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
