I undertook a temperature study for the whole of July 2004 in Shatter Cave, Mendips (simple, linear(ish) dry cave, one entrance supposedly) and Uamh an Tartair, Assynt (complex, many entrances and with a stream). The results were as follows...
Shatter Cave:
Entrance Chamber Mean T = 9.84 ?C Max T = 10.38 ?C Min T = 9.58 ?C
Mid Section Mean T = 10.47 ?C Max T = 11.46 ?C Min T 10.11 ?C
Pillar Chamber Mean T = 10.38 ?C This was constant for the duration of the entire study, hence max and min T = 10.38 ?C
Uamh an Tartair:
Stream Chamber Mean T = 9.31 ?C Max T = 9.60 ?C Min T = 9.30 ?C
Inner Circuit Mean T = 8.56 ?C Max T = 9.80 ?C Min T = 8.30 ?C
Dry Section Mean T = 8.89 ?C Max T = 9.80 ?C Min T = 8.80 ?C
As you can see, mean temperatures are very slightly colder in Scotland however this cave does have many additional factors affecting the temperature. The stream for one is highly likely to be a regulator of temperature.
One day I'll get round to finishing this off as a paper.
