THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER UPDATES FOR THE TIME BEING

A brief summary of AUGUST weather(1st to 28th) appears below & a graph showing

                               WEATHER SUMMARY FOR AUGUST 2014

The month was both cooler & wetter than average, the mean Maximum temperature 
by about 1.5 degrees, the mean Minimum by about 1 degree.
With 4 days still to go, the rainfall total is already up to 165%of the long-term average.

No temperature records were broken this August, though the Minimum of 0.6 on the 25th was not far short. Records show that this past month has been the only one since November 2013 to have had below-average temperatures.

The heavy rain of 38.1mms on the 10th resulted in a very rapid rise of the Tummel.

I have been delighted with the number of visits to the site during August. Numbers have frequently been in excess of 80 each day  & is very encouraging.
