I have often said that where I live is often the most boring part of the country when it comes to our weather and today, we are fully living up to that billing in this part of the world.
With this week being billed as one of the most interesting weeks in terms of our weather, the weather gods have still managed to find a way of ensuring that absolutely nothing happens here as today has just been one massive grey and overcast borefest here.
The result of this is that a total of just 12 minutes of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 4pm this afternoon, with nothing at all in that department since 9am this morning.
There was a bit of light drizzle for a while during this afternoon, but this was barely enough to even wet the ground so there continues to be nothing in the way of rainfall either, just to add to the sheer boredom of today.
The only thing which has actually been happening here, is that it is getting warmer over time, so the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 16.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16°C at Edinburgh Airport and 16.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
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.
