The Sun is shining here in Edinburgh just now, but there was a very heavy shower of rain during the early part of this afternoon, although even that didn't last for long.
As at 4pm this afternoon, a total of 4.2 hours of sunshine has now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
This afternoon's heavy shower has brought today's rainfall totals for today so far to 1.0 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank (where today will therefore, go down as an official rain day as a result) and 0.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh as at 4pm this afternoon. For both of those stations, that is only a tiny amount for what is supposed to be an unsettled spell of weather and so, this is still doing nothing to properly redress the rainfall deficit which is still continuing to build up, and which has been doing since just before the start of the summer.
It is windy though and at 4pm this afternoon, the highest wind gusts at Edinburgh Gogarbank were up to 37.9mph from the west.
However, it has been yet another warm day here and today's maximum temperature was 17.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 17°C at Edinburgh Airport and 18.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 14.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.8°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
