Campsie Glen temperature inversion, Scotland. We have had very few of these so far in the last 3 months. Wind and rain have been the order of the day and that looks to be the case for a while yet.

Your periodic reminder that @radiofreetom.bsky.social who many of you like to follow, and who writes for the Atlantic, was pushing the great replacement theory before Trump and has never apologized for it. He's part of what got us here.
