The hottest it got was 45.4 on 7th February 2009 - over 4 degrees hotter than the 2008maximum. The coldest was -2.8 on 8th August. This is around about the time that Dave and my Dad were working up there, no wonder they were freezing!

Overall, in the historical context it ended up being a pretty average year for rain.
