That is 15 miles away, on the coast (rather than slightly inland) and
in Fife. They get worse weather than we do.

Being a) hilly and b) coastal there is a lot of local variation.

Checking the stats for the local weather station so far this year
indicates that there were 58 days when it rained more than 0.1 cm, and
83 where it rained at all (ie non-zero).

Looking at the averages you can see that Leuchars has more sunshine
than Cambridge (which seems to have gone up a lot.. where in cambridge
gets up to the dizzy height of 26m above sea level?
