The current freezing weather conditions in Scotland have been vividly captured by the Institute’s environmental monitoring sites. The graph below shows the air temperature recorded from the river monitoring site at Tarland over the Christmas and New Year period with temperatures dipping down to -15°C. The plummet from around 0°C to around -15°C in during the evening of 2nd January is particularly dramatic.
