A handbook of climate trends across Scotland

Presenting changes in the climate across Scotland over the last century

The ‘Handbook of Climate Trends Across Scotland’ was published by SNIFFER in May 2006. It compiles and analyses observed climate data across Scotland over the last century (1914-2004), and presents these in a high-level / simplified way. It supports the development of climate change adaptation strategies by providing a benchmark of observed climate trends and is aimed at a broad audience of users from a range of sectors and disciplines. You can access the handbook online here. 

For a more detailed technical analysis, SNIFFER also published an accompanying document ‘Patterns of Climate Change Across Scotland: Technical Report' is also available to download from the SNIFFER website.
