Game

This month will be tricky and unfair (so what else is new?) Here are some questions about weather in Scotland. The problem here is that the answers are dependent on how you interoret the question. For example, if you are asked (as you will be) Where is the rainiest place in Scotland, the answer would really be determined by whether that means the heaviest rain in a given period (say the most rain in one day) or whether we are aasking for where more rain falls each year than any other place. So unlike our "normal" quizzes where we insult you when you write in a wrong answer, (with a clue in the insult) this time we will give you the same information no matter what answer you enter. This will stop after this issue and we will go back to being helpfully insulting. So here we go


1. Where was the highest temperature recorded in Scotland?

2. Where was the lowest temperature recorded in Scotland?

3. Where was the fastest wind in Scotland recorded?

4. Where is the foggiest place in Scotland?

5. Where is the wettest place in Scotland?
