Here in Edinburgh, it clouded over after midnight with the result that the temperatures have refused to drop after that, thereby resulting in last night being not as cold as the previous night.
It is usually asking too much in these parts for us to have a run of bright and sunny mornings which lasts for any length of time, and that has been shown yet again as this morning has began on a rather dark and depressing note with yet more constant grey skies, and yet another boring grey and overcast nothingness.
Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 8.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 7°C at Edinburgh Airport and 8.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 9.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 9.7°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
