A thoroughly wet and miserable day here in Edinburgh so far, although the rain has eased off a bit for now.
With all of that going on, there is nothing in the way of sunshine which has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.
Today's rainfall total so far as at 12 noon was 3.2 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 5.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. This means that today will now go down as the first official rain day of both this month and this autumn, at both of those stations.
This morning's minimum temperature eventually bottomed out at 11.0°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 11°C at Edinburgh Airport and 11.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 12 noon was 11.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 12°C at Edinburgh Airport and just 11.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, so it is quite a lot cooler than what it was at this time yesterday and even for this time of year, those temperatures are still very disappointing.
So much then, for this great start to September which we were supposedly going to be getting!!
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
