Strange things happening in the Cairngorms again today. Yesterday the weather station at 1242m altitude reported a temperature of 17C! Today it has gone up to 9.2C at 11am which makes it as warm as anywhere else in Scotland, and most of the mainland UK. Is this a dodgy sensor or some weird foehn effect?
I can tell you there is a lot of heather burning going on around cairngorm area at present, to the extent of a large smoke cloud hovering over the mountains, can almost see it on the sat photos, was wondering if it might be the heat from the fires ??! Just a thought.
