17C cloudy and quite breezy. Don't really know what's happened to the weather in the past couple of hours but it's really not as nice as the forecast

After that fine and sunny morning, it's clouded over with warm ploppy rain. Can almost hear it crackling upon hitting the baked hard ground.

Creeping down to 23.9 C from a max of 27.2 only less than an hour ago but humidity has risen up to 70% so the DP remains the same 18 C throughout.

Sunny with just a few clouds. 29.1c and very sticky!

Hazy sunshine, cloudy and 32.0C

Wind SE 4.5mph

Hi, Ian! Sunny intervals here with a light to moderate NW breeze, 'cooler' than of late @ 23.2 C with the RH @ 63%. Still bone dry despite the pressure having dropped to 1007mb. 

Long sunny spells as it has been all day.

High of 24.3c around lunchtime when it felt quite humid. Despite the clear skieas the temperature has dropped for much of the afternoon in association with the cooler fresher air from the west . Now 20.3c.

Today's rainfall totals so far are 1.6 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 2.4 mm of the botanic gardens in Edinburgh as at 5pm this afternoon.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 13.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 14°C at Edinburgh Airport and 14.0°C at the botanic gardens.

Although the cold front has now moved through, the temperatures still haven't yet peaked for today although it is cooler than of late. Meanwhile, the temperature at 5pm this afternoon was 18.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 18°C at Edinburgh Airport and 18.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

We maxed at 27.2C in the end. I had an inkling the Met Office forecast of 23C was going to be wrong..

A much cooler 19.5C now.

Yes it seems the Met Office text forecast from the other day stating it was going to be hot wasn't far wrong, especially the further east but the auto forecasts were dreadful showing just 20c here the other day.  I for one was confused at the disparity.  

I think the text forecasts could do with a bit more detail. Pretty difficult to describe the weather for Doncaster and Settle and everywhere in between in two sentences. 

+27c

Radar suggests its raining

Its not

A dry and bright but mostly cloudy day at Penrith with some spells of sunshine at times.

Max was 20 8c around noon before the arrival of fresher air this afternoon.

Clearing skies at dusk but cooler now at 13.8c

Very hot I recorded max of 33c. Norwich Airport 32c so happy with my reading. Still hot and as ever awaiting rain......still 24.9c

Edit at 9.45pm - steady rain is now falling.

The temperatures were also rather disappointing today compared to what we have become used to recently, so today's maximum temperature was 18.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 18°C at Edinburgh Airport and 18.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

That makes today, the coolest day of this month so far at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, and the second coolest day of this month so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank. This is also, only the first time since the very day of this month that the temperature at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh has failed to reach 20°C, thus ending a run of five days in a row where the maximum temperature at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh had exceeded 20°C.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 9pm this evening was 15.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 15°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.9°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
