TEACHERS & PARENTS
I’d love you to join me on a journey through the weather of 2026. With my weather calendar, I’ll help you meet key Curriculum for Excellence outcomes while exploring real, live weather with children across the year.
This will be Scotland’s biggest real-time weatfor children in 2026. I’ll also be visiting a small number of schools next year to support weather projects in person.
If you’d like me to visit your school, just mention it below.

The full force of #StormBoelo hits Largs. Businessowner Toni Dawson of Geraldo's said: "We are trying to protect our businesses from this disaster but we can't even get into our shops right now - god knows how much stock we have lost."

Unless you’re over 72 and from Unst, this will be the second biggest solar eclipse visible from Scotland in your lifetime.
And now… it’s only days away!

Nothing to get too excited about just yet… but today is officially Scotland’s warmest day of the year so far.
Drumnadrochit in the Highlands reached 14°C — even though it's been raining.
Meanwhile, it was also the UK’s warmest day, with London climbing to 19°C… a number we ttle longer to see up here!

We’ve yet to reach 12°C anywhere in Scotland this year. It’s the longest wait for that mark in 40 years — the last time it took this long was in 1986, when 12°C wasn’t recorded until March 4.
For comparison, somewhere in Scotland reached 15°C in January in each of the past four years: 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Some areas of Scotland are on track for their driest winter in 16 years, while others could see their wettest in a decade — and overall, it may turn out to be the cloudiest winter in nearly 30 years!

Here's how the rain shadow has looked in the north of the country. On the windward side of the hills the likes of Glen Isla and Glenesk in Angus have had about 100mm of rain in the last 36 hours. As the air has dried out and descended into areas such as Moy, Culloden, Dingwall een little to no rainfall in the rain shadow. Today is such a great example of how orographic rainfall works

Today is a textbook example of a rain shadow. Moisture moving in from the south-east has brought heavy rainfall to the Southern Uplands and southern Grampians, where up to 65 mm has fallen in the past 36 hours. Meanwhile, North and East Ayrshire sit on the lee side of the hills, drier. Most of the rain has already been squeezed out of the clouds before reaching the area, with just 1 mm recorded in Stewarton over the same period!
