Hot here means 23.8 °C or above, a level about one summer day in twenty used to reach at this station between 1971 and 2000. The bar has not moved; the number of days clearing it has. Every year truncated at the same date, so a part-finished season is never set against complete ones. That threshold is Aberdeen's own. It is not a national standard and it is not comparable with another city's: every figure on this page is measured against this station and nothing else.
The 20 °C night is a Mediterranean measure and Aberdeen is outside its range. None this year, and no nights in the whole of 1961-1990 by this date. No multiple is quoted, because dividing by a base that thin is arithmetic rather than evidence. 28 of the 54 cities are gated this way.
Aberdeen's hottest day this year, 29.4 °C, is 2nd on this record. The previous best is 29.8 °C in 2006, the dot on the drop line. A typical summer here peaks at 25.4 °C. Its hot-day count is 16th of 70: a count and a peak are different claims, and neither borrows the other's rank.
