Only one word for the weather here today - Dreich.

Elsewhere in Scotland I know that the current weather would be described as “minging”.

Not too dreich in my part of Scotland today, more of a soft day as we'd say in Ireland.

Grey and dull.

That sounds so boring compared to the lovely descriptions up thread. I can’t help my background though.
