During this evening, there has continued to be a lot of cloud around at times, although it had looked as though this was mostly dissipated altogether as sunset approached. Nevertheless, a total of just 2.5 hours of sunshine was recorded for today in the end at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
That is much better than what we had yesterday, but is still yet another disappointing total which still leaves us needing another hour of sunshine or more to occur between now and the end of this month, in order for this summer as a whole, to have been sunnier than average overall.
Today's maximum temperature was 17.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 17°C at Edinburgh Airport and 17.5°C, so today was much warmer than yesterday although the temperatures were still, not all that great for this time of year.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 9pm this evening was 14.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 14°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
