This wasn’t a stormy day or even a particularly cold one. In fact in the other direction there was a blue sky and few clouds. The view is looking out towards the island of Rum from the Isle of Skye. It’s perfectly possible to see locally divergent weather patterns and not experience the actual conditions. I didn’t get wet. The dog and I had a pleasant walk.

In Scotland we are used to changing and dramatic weather. See the poem in the ALT

‘Here’s the Weather’ Stuart A. Paterson Today in London, the weather man speaks
of damp & of cold. In Scotland it’s dreich
with outbreaks of smirr, the occasional hoolie,
advice in the papers to look oot yer woolies,
a sudden dramatic surge & spike
in the sales of three-tiered winterdykes,
the urge to girn & to haiver & blether
carnaptious, forfochen & scunnert by weather,
dance round the double-edged sword of fash,
dinged doon by the elements, loving stramash
and the trauchle of baltic , foonert & droukit
fair molocates fears ye’re a diddy or stupid,
yer puckle concerns on the £ or on Brexit.
It’s the cant o the climate & aabody gets it
eeksie-peeksie, we mump & we greet & we tyauve it
fae Lerwick tae Perth, fae Kirkcaldy tae Hawick,
gan on how we hadnae a summer, it’s affy
and on wi the thermals & semmits & baffies,
gan oot for the messages, endin up pecht
wi the hail turravee, it’s a gey sair fecht
....etc.
