ABERDEENSHIRE—Showing Meteorological Stations and their heights 
above M.S.L. 
'TEMPERATURE.— lable I shows the temperatures recorded at Aberdeen, 
Logie Coldstone, and Braemar during the period 1901-30. For each of 
_ these stations there are given the mean maximum and minimum tempera- 
tures and also the mid-temperatures for each month and for the year. 
Finally there is shown the mean daily range for each month and for 
ql 
‘ 
the year. 
The table shows clearly the differences in the climate of the sea-coast 
and that of the higher regions inland. For example, at Aberdeen the 
June maximum is 58-7° F., while at Logie Coldstone it is 61-7° F., and 
at Braemar, despite a height of 1,120 ft., it reaches 60°6° F. The corre-_ 
sponding minimum temperatures are 47°0°, 441° and 42-2° F., Aberdeen 
having thus much warmer nights. The daily ranges for this month are 
11°7° F. at Aberdeen, 17:6° F. at Logie Coldstone and 18-4° F. at 
Braemar. 
‘The table also shows that at the inland stations the winter temperature 
is much lower than at Aberdeen, while the daily range is nevertheless 
larger. The annual range of monthly temperature at Aberdeen is 17°5° F. 
and at the other two stations it is 20-1° F. 
It is interesting in this respect to note that if the averages over the 
period 1881-1915 are employed instead of those over 1901~30, the mean
