I have a bit of a headache from the stress caused by what I was posting in yesterday's CC thread, so please go easy on me (I have taken something for that though, just in case anyone suggests that I should see a doctor).

Anyway, I was hoping that the skies would have cleared after yesterday evening's cold front moved through, but it is still rather cloudy here. In fact, the radar map shows that there is obviously some sort of trough line coming in within the showery air stream behind the main cold front, and that is showing up nicely as a lump of rain that is heading in this direction, which appear to have formed from a number of showers which have clumped together.

In the end, a total of 0.6 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 0.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at midnight was 16.0°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.9°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

That cracked me up actually! 

19c here breezy and still very humid outside . I can smell the rain in fact! Won't be long before that band of rain arrives.

Becoming Overcast.

On a different note - why is the time of my post 1 hour behind GMT on this forum!? - Shows 23:50?

Calm with light rain - yes rain, which is novel this summer and 17.9c.

On a min temp of 14.0C.

Wind nil

Temp 10.5C

Morning 

Cloudy and warm.

18.2c following a low of 17.0c.

Overcast. Raining.  12.9c. Humidity 97&rh.

996.1 hPa. Westerly Breeze 4 mph.

However, that rain has long since cleared away to leave us with a bright and sunny start to this morning with a total of 1.3 hours of sunshine having been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank, as at 8am this morning although more in the way of cloud is already starting to build up.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 10.9°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 10.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, so last night ended up being a bit cooler than of late in the end.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 12.6°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 13°C at Edinburgh Airport and 12.9°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Yesterday max 24.4c

Overnight Min 16.0c (8:00am)

After 4.9mm rain overnight it`s now dry with some sunny intervals.

Temp 17.6C

Pressure 1011mb

Rather overcast with a fresh SW breeze. However, it is staying dry as the cold front is still yet to turn up at this end.

As a result, the current 19.4 C & 86% H are feeling quite fresh for it.

The bright sunshine from this morning didn't last for long although a total of 3.4 hours of sunshine has now been recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

That bright sunshine has been replaced by more in the way of cloud and occasional passing showers although as at 12 noon, this has only added a further 0.2 mm of rain to today's total at Edinburgh Gogarbank with nothing at all at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

To me, the today's biggest let-down has been the temperature which has been refusing to rise during the day today. This means that as at 12 noon, the temperature was a rather dismal 14.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 15°C at Edinburgh Airport and just 14.8°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

This means that autumn has clearly arrived early in this part of the world.

Broken cloud with sunny spells. 19.3c.  Humidity 52% rh.

999.2 hPa. Breeze Westerly 9 mph.

Pretty awful - moderate to heavy rain for much of the morning and temp just 15.0C

Rain this morning for about 4 hours, now sunny spells with a light breeze and 19.8c

Yet again in this revolting second half of summer a fine day has given way to a miserable evening. 

Dull, raining and horrible after being sunny almost all day. Temperature fallen from 19.6C to 15.6C. Beyond awful 

For most of today, it hasn't been too bad. Until just an hour ago, it had even looked as though we had escaped all of those heavy showers which had been forecast for today. There has generally been a lot of cloud of around, but there has also been some decent sunny spells as well with a total of 6.4 hours of sunshine having been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 5pm this afternoon. That might not seem like all that much for this time of year, but it has been enough to make today, our second sunniest day of this month so far.

Having said that though, the heavens then opened just a short while ago as a really heavy shower of rain such as what we had appeared to have avoided, then came along although it is too early just now to be able to determine what contribution that will make to today's rainfall total at Edinburgh Gogarbank and/or the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

As a result of that increased sunshine during this afternoon, the temperature staged a bit of a late rally before falling back once that heavy shower came along, so it wasn't as cool in the end as it had looked as though it would be. As a result of that, today's maximum temperature was 17.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 18°C at Edinburgh Airport and 18.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 5pm this afternoon was 16.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 17°C at Edinburgh Airport and 17.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

16.5C, max 17.9C.

The rain belt associated with the cold front has finally arrived here, 4.4 mm so far but can see the clearance in the distant western horizon.

Not getting to be called a cold front for nothing as temperatures has fallen down to 14.9 C from a peak of 19.7 at 11.45 am, although winds has died right down.

Hi Ian. A max of 19.7c as well at 10.43am. Rainfall today was 4.2mm. Current temperature 14.9c.... SNAP ! 

There hasn't been any further showers since the one which I reported earlier on. That particular shower of rain completely missed Edinburgh Gogarbank, but delivered a further 0.8 mm of rain to the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. This means that a total of just 0.6 mm has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 9pm this evening, but along with 1.8 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 9pm this evening was 13.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 13°C at Edinburgh Airport and 13.8°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
