Tour Scotland Video Thunder And Lightning Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of heavy rain, thunder and lightning on walking visit in Scone just outside Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The climate of Scotland is temperate and oceanic, and tends to be very changeable, but not normally extreme. It is warmed by the Gulf Stream from the Atlantic, and given its northerly latitude it is warmer than areas on similar latitudes, for example Labrador in Canada, where the sea freezes over in winter and icebergs are a common feature in spring and early summer, or Fort McMurray, Canada, where −35 °C is not uncommon during winter. Even though most of the country has a temperate climate, the Northern islands and Highlands experience a type of weather close to the climate of the Faroe Islands or Southern Norway.
