Yet another crap day to end yet another crap June.
Cloudy skies with frequent drizzle showers until mid-afternoon. Just over an hour of sunshine. Temperatures higher than expected though with a max of 17.9C.
The last four days have been yet another dismal cloudy spell of summer weather. Nowhere near as awful as the first half of the month but poor nonetheless
That almost exactly sums up what it has been like here in Edinburgh because although we had a shower of rain during this afternoon, this barely even dampened the ground and course, that wasn't enough to add anything at all to our actual rainfall totals.
We had a bit more in the way of sunshine here overall which is just as well because if we had also had just over an hour of sunshine here in Edinburgh during today, this month would have gone down as our dullest June since 2012.
In the end, a total of 5.4 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank which was just enough and no more, to prevent that scenario from happening (this month was slightly sunnier than June 2017 in the end, though not by much), although this month will still go down as quite a substantially duller than average month here.
It was also slightly warmer here than what it was in Edinburgh (no surprise there, since it's always been freezing cold whenever I've been up there in the past ), though not by much and today's maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 19.4°C.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 9pm tonight was around 16°C here in Edinburgh.
