Yesterday was our sunniest day of this year so far with a total of 11.8 hours of sunshine at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
Today has started with a lot of cloud around but is becoming increasingly sunny over time which is a far cry from how this spring has gone so far overall.
I also strongly echo what others are saying about the ground drying very quickly because despite the fact that we've had over twice our average April rainfall during this month and despite the fact that we've already had more than our average spring rainfall during this spring, the ground is already brick hard and almost cracking up due to the much drier weather which we've had over the last week or so.
It therefore, wouldn't surprise me if the next drought and resulting comments on here about concerns of possible water shortages weren't all that far away.
Back on topic, last night wasn't all that warm but it wasn't as cold as the previous night when a ground frost was recorded.
Meanwhile, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 5.6°C as at 7:30am BST (06:30 UTC) this morning.
