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).
