Today was supposed to be cooler and cloudier than of late in this part of the world according to the latest official forecasts, but that is not how today has turned out to be.
There has been some cloud around at times, but the only cloud which I can see just now are a few fair weather clouds and as at 12 noon, a total of 5.9 hours of sunshine have been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 12 noon was 21.1ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 22ºC at Edinburgh Airport and 22.0ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. That already makes today, the warmest day of this month so far at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and the joint warmest day of this month so far at Edinburgh Airport.
So much for today supposedly going to cooler and cloudier than of late then!!
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.
