A Highland Perthshire weather station claims it was the wettest in the UK for July.
The Met Office Climate Station 1455 at Camserney, near Aberfeldy, measured 207.6mm (8.2in) rainfall for the month, beating Capal Cureg in Wales.
For most of Scotland, this summer has seen an unprecedented amount of rain, with Perth having 42.6mm (1.7in) of rain on July 16.
Brian Blair, who runs the Abernethy weather station, described this summer as a “washout”.
“It’s been a terrible summer,” he said. “One downpour on Saturday, June 18, saw 65mm (2.5in) fall in just one day we’ve never had that level of rain before in one day.”
He said that on the weekend of August 6-7, Glasgow had 60mm (2.4in) of rain.
The weather station at Aberfeldy has been in use for 10 years, but Mr Blair feels there should be more such stations in Scotland.
“We had the flash-floods the same day as Perth, but Aberfeldy missed it,” he said. “There will be places that don’t have weather stations.
“I am sure that places such as Glenlyon get a lot more rain, but they don’t have a weather station. Pitlochry has one, Perth has one and Dundee has a weather station, but the likes of Stirling don’t, so they have to get their weather extrapolated from Cumbernauld.”
The weather station has its own website at aberfeldyweather.com and the good news is that it is predicting generally fair conditions this weekend.
