Despite the presence of some cloud at certain times during this morning, a total of 6.0 hours of sunshine has now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon. This means that if it continues to be completely sunny at that station up until 3pm, that will be enough to confirm that this month will now go down as a sunnier than average month overall as the total number of hours of sunshine for this month so far will then be more than the 1981-2010 July average. As things stand just now, we now only need at least another 2.5 hours of sunshine to be recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank between now and the end of the month in order for that to happen.

With that sunshine, it is also quite hot and so, the temperature at 12 noon was 23.7ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 25ºC at Edinburgh Airport and 24.7ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

27C but clouding over a bit. Was hoping we could power towards 30C and surprise but I think the cloud will peg it at 27/28

27 C at 1500 at Edinburgh Airport. Our second hottest after 28 C in June. Hot southerly wind blowing smoke and ash from wildfires to the south of the city. More like Portugal here today than Scotland!

Full sunshine and currently 28.7 C from a max of 29.2 at 2.45 pm. Mercifully, it's coming with 50% H and a notable onshore breeze so it's not that oppressive.

You're almost right there, but not quite unless you are referring to Edinburgh as a whole here when you are comparing those two temperatures. The temperature at Edinburgh Airport which you have mentioned is actually the highest temperature of the year so far at that particular station.

On the other hand, the temperature of 28ºC which you have reported for June was actually recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank on 28 June 2018 and not at Edinburgh Airport.

I know that Edinburgh Airport and Edinburgh Gogarbank are right next to each other, but they are different stations with each of those stations having its own data set.

Apart from that figure for Edinburgh Airport which you have reported though, I can also report that the temperature at 3pm was 26.2ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 22.8ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Anyway, I was going to be posting here anyway, and the reason for that is because a total of 8.7 hours of sunshine has now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank. This means that although the last two hours haven't been completely sunny, what we have had so far, has still been enough to ensure that this month will now go down as being a sunnier than average month at Edinburgh Gogarbank since this month's total for that station is now greater than the 1981-2010 July average for that station.

EDIT:

I can report that the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank has also reached 27.0ºC as at 4pm this afternoon which now makes today, the second hottest day of 2018 so far at that station so far, as well as the hottest day of this month so far at that station.
