Scotland 'snow-free' for fourth time in six years
Scotland is completely snow-free for The Fourth Time In The Last Six Years .
The Sphinx , in the Cairngorms, which is historically the longest-lasting Patch of snow in the UK, has melted.
Snow expert Iain Cameron reported on Friday that the famous Patch had disappeared in The Last 24 hours.
It is The Fourth time it has gone in The Last Six Years , having only melted nine times in The Past 300 years. Mr Cameron said Climate Change was a likely factor.
The Sphinx , on remote Braeriach, a 1,296m (4,252ft) Munro, has melted away more frequently in The Last 18 years.
According to records, it previously melted fully in 1933, 1959, 1996, 2003, 2006, 2017, 2018, 2021 and now 2022.
Before 1933, it is thought to have last melted completely in the 1700s.
Mr Cameron tweeted: " So There we have it. It is confirmed that Scotland is snow-free Yet Again .
" The Last Patch , The Sphinx , disappeared sometime in The Last 24 hours. "
He added: " I'm not a climatologist (nor even an academic), but it's a pretty obvious direction Of Travel .
" The Future for semi-permanent snows in Scotland looks bleak. "

Mr Cameron, based in Stirling, has been studying snow patches in Scotland for 25 years and is author of The Book The Vanishing Ice, which he describes as a " lament" to snow and ice that lingers high in Scotland's hills.
He worked alongside the late Dr Adam Watson , a biologist because of his many years studying The Mountains .
Some of Dr Watson's research on The Sphinx drew on information handed down by generations of people who worked and visited the Cairngorms.
The Scottish Mountaineering Club began noting The Fortunes of The Patch in the 1840s and more recently scientists and ecologists have gathered information.
Separately from Mr Cameron's research, and published In July 2020 said declining snow cover, and fewer days when it snowed had been observed on Cairngorm Mountain since The Winter of 1983-84.
Researchers also noted a trend for increasingly warmer weather since the 1960s, and suggested that by the 2080s there would be some years with very little or no snow at all on Cairngorm.
The Sphinx lies in Garbh Choire Mor, a hollow known as a corrie formed by ice or a glacier during The Last Ice Age .
Garbh Choire Mor is described as Scotland's snowiest corrie because of the amount of snow it can hold even through summer months.
The Sphinx is the name of a climbing route near The Snow Patch .
