I notice that the report State of the UK Climate 2023 that has just issued by the UKMO says that ‘Climate change may be causing dramatic changes’, but eight to twelve days with temperatures >=28°C across Ross-shire in 2023 is NOT one of them. I recorded one such day here in 2023 in StrathpefferStrathpeffer Strathpeffer (Scottish Gaelic: Srath Pheofhair) is a village and spa town in Easter Ross, Highland, Scotland, with a population of 1,469., Easter Ross. I realise that the statistics are from a number of stations across the whole county, but there’s absolutely no way that there were as many as eight of them in 2023, even if you include results from Kinlochewe in Wester Ross. Back to the printers!
