Official: Parts of Scotland had a record-breaking wet summer

This is 165% of the area’s normal summer rainfall – the last dry day here was on 31 July.

The rain hasn’t been evenly spread either, with August seeing more than half of that rainfall. Its previous wettest summer was 2017, which at the time broke a record that had stood for 50 years.

Remember, in meteorology, we categorise summer as the months of June, July and August rather than the astronomical dates, which are defined by the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun and run about three weeks later.

Other standout spots include Kinlochewe, which has recorded its second wettest summer on record at 154% of its average.

Stornoway, Aultbea and Tyndrum all recorded their third wettest summers with an anomaly around 140%.
