    We've had a bit of sunshine but it's cloudy at the moment and it's 7c.

      It's been mostly grey today, 6C/43F again. There's a large digital road sign at the bridge into Inverness and that was giving us an amber warning for snow tomorrow - we'll see. :th scifD36: :)

        The skies are clearing and the temperature is 33f:hate-shocked: It's been a cold day with lots of cloud and some blue skies and a breeze that chilled the skin with the temperature staying at around 45f. The present pressure reading is 1021mbs.:coffee::snork:

          When I got home after midnight last night, having first scraped the ice of the car, the sky looked fantastic. It was perfectly clear and someone had turned on the twinkling lights up above.

          Cold this morning with a poor forecast.

                It's been cold here today too at 4C/39F. I noticed some snow up on the high ground but lower down it's been dismal. Grey skies and rain setting in this evening.

                Well, last night the skies were clear so I was in the Observatory until the early hours of this morning and it wasn't until I decided to go to bed that I noticed that there was ice on the inside on the Observatory and on the shield of my telescope!!
                Today has been dull and grey with rain starting around 2pm and it has continued to rain since then. The temperature rose to 37f but has dropped back to 36f with a pressure reading of 1002mbs and a forecast of heavy and persistent rain throughout the night.:hate-shocked::wallbanging:

                  The weather changed dramatically last Friday and since then it's been decidedly autumnal. It rained all day Saturday and part of Sunday - the first decent rain we've had since the spring :about_time:. Max temps around 10ºC, min 4ºC with snow on the hills. It's actually quite a relief to have something approaching 'normal' weather for this time of year. :cold_breath:

                      A cloud ridden day where the temperature began around 45f and then struggled to get to 50f although, again, it felt more like 40f. It rained for most of the morning but stopped at around midday and it has stayed dry since then. The temperature is, right now, 40f and the pressure reading is 1011mbs.:coffee::snork:

                        It started dull this morning but the sun put in an appearance this afternoon in between bouts of cloud cover. A chilly but windless day too at 3C/37F.

                            Yes @ARMANDII. We've had quite a bit of that up here until this last week. The weather here is a great improvement on what we left behind on the island. It might be a tad colder here but it's drier. If I can manage to bottle some I'll send it your way. :)

                              The temperature today was 45f and the skies would full of cloud. We've had light showers followed almost immediately by heavy showers but now the skies have cleared and the temperature is 41f with a pressure reading of 1006mbs. With clear skies and nearly 80% of the Moon visible the Observatory is powered up for a few hours peering through the scope............that might be my last chance for a few days as rain is moving in from the West over the next few days.:dunno::snorky:
