Varying amounts of cloud has come and gone at times, although there has been some decent sunny spells at times.
The result of this is that a total of 3.8 hours of sunshine was recorded for today in the end at Edinburgh Gogarbank which still leaves us needing a minimum total of 1.1 hours of sunshine during the last two days of this month in order for this month to go down as being sunnier than average overall.
Over time though, this evening has descended into yet another spring borefest with yet more constant grey skies which has prevented us from getting the full benefit of that extra hour or so of daylight at this end of the day due to the change to British Summer Time.
In addition to that, the BBC forecasts have indicated that we are expected to see a lot of cloud during the next couple of days which means that our chances of this month being sunnier than average overall are no longer looking like the foregone conclusion which that appeared to be just a few days ago.
Given the really cold upper air temperatures which are supposedly in place just now, it's not actually been all that cold down here on the surface where today has actually turned out to be slightly warmer than yesterday.
Today's officially recorded maximum temperature at Edinburgh Airport was 8.7°C and the temperature at 8pm this evening was around 7°C here in Edinburgh.
