A sunny afternoon was resulted in 9.8 hours of sunshine being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
However, that bracing easterly wind means that despite this sunshine and unlike in other parts of the UK, the temperatures have once again refused to rise to any sort of decent levels in this part of the world. It has been a bit warmer further inland but even with that, today's maximum temperatures have still fallen a little bit short of the 21ºC which Jerry had predicted earlier on for his part of Edinburgh.
Today's maximum temperature was 20.2ºC at Swanston in the south of Edinburgh, 18.9ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 17ºC at Edinburgh Airport and just a rather disappointing 16.7ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh where I had hoped that it might have at least got up to around 18ºC in the very strong June sunshine.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 5pm this afternoon was 19.7ºC at Swanston, 17.7ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16ºC at Edinburgh Airport and 15.7ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
