We are now almost three quarters of the way through the month at the very time of year when it should be getting warmer (it is supposed to be British 'Summer' Time after all) and yet, last night was actually our coldest night of this month so far with an official air frost being recorded as the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank dropped to -1.4°C.
I was able to see a lovely sunrise earlier on this morning though and there is still some clear sky around with the odd brighter spell, but there is also quite a lot of cloud around.
As at 7am BST (06:00 UTC) this morning, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was still a very cold (for this time of year) -0.5°C.
That in my books, is the polar opposite of getting a temperature of over 20°C here in October which would then have been referred to as an Indian Summer and so despite the lack of cold weather over the last several months stretching back into last winter, this is very much the polar opposite of that.
