A perfect example this month of how gridded climate data, even when interpolated onto a 1 km x 1 km fine grid, can make some places drier and warmer that they really where.
Rather Surprisingly, only E Scotland had a record wet month in the gridded regional data.
I’m not convinced with the contouring.
I’ve never looked at it in detail before It’s neither caught the 228% in StrathpefferStrathpeffer Strathpeffer (Scottish Gaelic: Srath Pheofhair) is a village and spa town in Easter Ross, Highland, Scotland, with a population of 1,469. (dark blue) or the 219% at Tain, and seems to have completely missed the 408% at Wattisham
Strange, several stations with anomalies of -0.5°C or lower across the Scotland not registering as a blue contour fill including Baltasound
Not quite accurate statement for some places across NENE North East Scotland, and that includes Baltasound in Shetland, mean anomalies were 1°C below the LTALTA Long Term Average. This is usually defined as a 30 year period by the WMO.
