Share a story of how you have experienced weather and/or climate at this place

On the 17th February 2023, Storm Otto passed over the Highlands. I was in Fort William at the time and the wind was so strong it was making all the windows and doors in the hotel shake. When I woke in the morning there was a lot of localised flooding and news of trees on roads which needed to be cleared.

Have you observed the weather, climate, or natural environment at this place changing over time?

There has definitely been more variable weather but overall it is warmer and more stormy.

Have you done anything to prepare for or address climate and weather changes at this place?

Not at this location as I was only visiting.
