Daily precipitation
figures have been collected in Slumbay (Lochcarron) since 1997.
Although
a few miles from Torridon & Shieldaig the figures are likely to
be similar, and certainly give a fair representation of the wettest
and driest months.
Figures kindly
provided by Rosemary Malone.
A month to
month statistical breakdown is running at the bottom of this page.
(Starting June 2007).
