Back to square one with more utterly revolting crap off the North Sea while the rest of the country gets convective activity with some sunny spells
Miserable, depressing wet murky GARBAGE. Yet another day imprisoned in the house and unable to leave. So dark this morning it felt like winter already
This is a description of the climate from the 1950s :
"It is wrong to say that Aberdeenshire has an "east-windy" climate, but it is a fact that much of the county's bad weather, both in summer and winter, is associated with winds having an easterly component"
That is not something we can say now. Obviously I mean the first part as nothing has changed with regard to the second part
Used to be that with low pressure systems the wind would start in the W/SW leaving us dry. As the low pressure crossed the wind would switch to E/SE giving a period of rain which would clear and the wind switch back to a W/SW direction.
Since 2007 the low pressures cross to the south giving wind from the east the entire time and giving rise to horrific levels of utterly depressing and horrifying gloom. Rain preceeded by, and followed by, fog and murk with appalling visibility and low diurnal ranges that wouldn't have been conceivable in summer before
If August gets less than 140 hours sun then this will replace last year as the dullest July/August combination since 2012. Considering that July only just managed to exceed it, despite having a brilliantly sunny spell mid-month, the ongoing easterly nightmare, that won't relent, should make that very achievable.
