DECEMBER 1981 was the coldest December in Pitlochry’s records. The average maximum temperature that month was + 1.9, while the average minimum was -5.4. So far this December, we are COLDER than this record month. However, although 1981 was overall the coldest December on record, 1995 actually had the coldest day (-10.5 max.) & the coldest night (-18.2 min). There appears every likelihood that December 2010 will remain cold & topple the record held by 1981.
