Still wintry!
10th March 2024
There was a slight rise in temperature last night but winter is still firmly in place. The graph below shows the temperature trend and can be sourced through the SAIS website by clicking ‘More’ on the main banner heading and then ‘ live weather stations’.
(Above) Aonach Mor summit temperatures were -3.9 degrees C at midnight then rose to -2.3 degrees C by the afternoon.

(Above) Trace amounts of windslab on a northerly aspect around 1000 meters. The darker shades of snow are firm and icy.
