After three weeks of cloud cover and incessant rain, the sun has finally appeared in the city of Aberdeen, in northeast Scotland. The last rays were recorded on January 21, marking the longest period without sunshine since official measurements began in 1957.

Residents of the “Granite City” saw blue skies for the first time on Thursday afternoon. According to the Met Office, the Dyce area officially recorded 30 minutes of sunshine by 4pm, enough to break the gloomy 21-day record.

"The first thing I did was text my friends: 'Guys, the sun is out,'" said 21-year-old Kate Finlay, a student at the University of Aberdeen.

She described the moment as strange and exciting after weeks of wet and gray weather.

"It's been hard being locked up at home. Everything has been humid and there's no desire to do anything. I'm so happy that the sun has finally returned," she said.

The start of 2026 brought heavy snowfall to the north-east of Scotland, while January was characterised by almost continuous rainfall. Aboyne in Aberdeenshire alone received over 277mm of rain during the month – around four times the monthly average.

The weather affected football matches, North Sea oil workers, farmers and even road repairs. Experts blame a "blocking of the atmospheric pattern" that blocked the movement of upper-level air currents and kept the weather unstable for weeks.

Forecasters are warning that although the sun has returned, a yellow warning for snow and ice is in place across Scotland overnight. However, a change in air mass is expected to bring drier and clearer conditions on Friday and Saturday.

According to official data, a 1.5°C increase in global temperature could bring up to 16% more winter rainfall to Aberdeen compared to the 1980s and 1990s, a clear signal of the impact of climate change.

For city residents, however, the 30 minutes of sunshine were more than statistics; they were a breath of fresh air after three grey weeks.
