Book Description
"Taking the Temperature" is a record of the weather station at Forgandenny over the last thirty three years. These records have appeared monthly in the "Perthshire Advertiser", and still do, and this compilation of the records is due to the diligence and careful record keeping of Norman Pedgrift.
The book has records of previous Perth weather from the 19th century, gives a snapshot of the freezing weather of 1918, showing the Tay with ice floes floating down the river, and is interspersed with photographs, showing all the variations of weather.
There are detailed annual charts showing temperature, rainfall, days with snow, frost and wind. Is Perth getting warmer - are winters less cold - is it wetter - now is your chance to find out.
