There is still some cloud around, but this afternoon was a bit sunnier than this morning and in the end, a total of 1.7 hours of sunshine was recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
Today's maximum temperature was 4.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 5°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. I'm hoping that there will be plenty of days ahead during this winter which are much colder than this, with the possibility of even the added bonus of an odd official ice day here and there. Nevertheless, today was the coldest of both this month and this winter so far, and this will do for now.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm was 3.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 3°C at Edinburgh Airport and 3.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
