Today has ended up being another fairly hot day here in Edinburgh with a maximum temperature of 25.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
That makes today the joint hottest day of this year so far at that particular station alongside 15 July 2021 and 17 July 2021, but the hottest day of this year so far across all three of my local stations was actually on 17 July 2021 when the temperature reached 25.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and it was even hotter than that in Hawick (around 27°C) when I was down there last week.
Today, the botanic gardens in Edinburgh was slightly cooler with a maximum temperature of just 22.9°C.
Now, bits and pieces of easterly muck have started to come in from off the North Sea once again, but the temperature at 9pm this evening is still up at around 20°C here in Edinburgh.
