Great Edinburgh weather again, 18 C both yesterday and today with lots of strong sun. Thick high cloud has now moved in from the west
It's not so sunny here in Edinburgh now though.
It has now completely clouded over here and since my last report here which was a whole three hours ago, just a further 12 minutes of sunshine has been added to today's sunshine total at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
The wind from off the North Sea has picked up quite a bit, and that is now blowing in some low cloud from off the North Sea with the top of Arthur's Seat having now disappeared into that.
Today's maximum temperature was 18.5° at Edinburgh Gogarbank where today was the warmest day of this year so far as a result (beating that figure of 18.3°C which was recorded there during March, but still short of that figure of 19.0°C which was recorded at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh on that same day).
However, the temperature as at 7pm this evening has plummeted to just around 10°C here in Edinburgh.
As that has happened, the dew point has actually gone back up a bit which meant that the relative humidity has now shot up to around 72% at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 7pm this evening.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
