Aberdeen Weather
Aberdeen’s maximum temprature comes in the month of May or June and are at their lowest in December. Wind and cloud play their part, but the key factor is, of course, the variation in the length of the day through the year. Typically, measurable rainfall (an amount of 0.2 mm or more) occurs on over 250 days per year over much of the Highlands, decreasing to around 175 days per year on the Angus, Fife and East Lothian coasts. The most common direction from which the wind blows in Scotland is the south-west, but the wind direction often changes markedly from day to day with the passage of weather systems. Over Scotland the mean annual air temperature at low altitude ranges from about 7 °C on Shetland, in the far north, to 9 °C on the coasts of Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway in the south-west.Normally temperature decreases by approximately 0.6 °C for each 100 m rise in height so that over the high ground temperatures are generally colder.Snow rarely lies on the ground at sea level before November or after April.
