It suddenly became a lot cloudier not long after I submitted my last post on this thread and in the end, a total of 1.6 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
In fact, there was even a nearby shower of rain just a short while ago which passed just to the north of here without quite managing to reach us here in Edinburgh. The result of this is there was no recorded rainfall from that at any of my local stations and we remain on course for today to be only our first completely dry day since 17 November 2018 if it stays dry between now and midnight.
The downside is there is still a lot of cloud around and unless we get rid of that, the temperatures will no doubt be refusing to drop due to there being too much cloud, thus depriving us of a frost yet again.
Today's maximum temperature was 6.9°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 7°C at Edinburgh Airport and 6.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 4.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 5.2°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.
