Last night was quite cold for the time of year in the end, but the final day of the meteorological summer has started off on a bright and sunny note (something which we haven't been able to say for the vast majority of the time during this summer) with 48 minutes of sunshine having been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 8am this morning.
Last night's minimum temperature was 5.0°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 6.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which means that last night was the coldest night of the summer at all three of my local stations.
The temperature has started to respond nicely to the sunshine, but it is still cold outside just now, for this time of year. Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 7.9°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 7°C at Edinburgh Airport and 8.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
