Temperatures overall in 2016 were similar to those of 2015. Three months (May, September and December) were much warmer than average and only one month (November) was much colder than average. Oddly, January was a little warmer than February and December was much warmer than November. Summer was again rather disappointing, although June was a little warmer than usual, July was colder and August only average.

The total rainfall for 2016 was 912mm (35.9”). This is very close to the 30 year average for Scotby and the driest year since 2010. Only two months (January and July) had significantly more rain than normal. Three months (May, October and December) were significantly drier than normal.
