Following the publication of the original article [1], a mistake was found in the temperature data for the three regions in Scotland. This error affected some results marginally, however the conclusions and key messages remain valid after the error was corrected.

The daily mean temperature data was mislabelled during the analysis—the temperature data in the West was mislabelled as North, the temperature data in the East was mislabelled as West and the temperature data in the North was mislabelled as East.

All changes after and before the correction are presented Table 1. The section of the content and the line number of the updated manuscript are also included.
