Rather frustratingly, the temperatures here are refusing to drop yet again despite the fact that the sky appears to be fairly clear. In fact, we were very close at 8pm yesterday evening (which was about 4 hours ago) to getting an official air frost at Edinburgh Airport before the temperature at that station, then jumped back up, but I can only assume that this is probably due to there being a bit too much of a breeze.

What has happened though, is that I can now confirm that yesterday was the first completely dry day at both Edinburgh Gogarbank and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh since 17 November, thus ending a run of 21 consecutive days without a single completely dry day at both of those stations. Having said that though, there hasn't really been any massive rainfall amounts on any of those days and because of that, our rainfall totals for this month so far are only around average for this stage of December according to the 1981-2010 averages.

Meanwhile, the temperature at midnight was 3.0°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 1°C at Edinburgh Airport and 2.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

A cold and frosty start to this morning with an official air frost being recorded at Edinburgh Airport and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, but only a ground frost at Edinburgh Gogarbank where the temperature has remained just above freezing. However, there is a veil of high cloud covering all but the far eastern part of the sky so that although we should see some sunshine to begin with, I'm not expecting any decent sunshine totals today.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 0.1° at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -2°C at Edinburgh Airport and -1.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 1.0° at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -2°C at Edinburgh Airport and -0.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Yet another garbage frost free night here due to the toxic wind which never relents. Min of 1.2C and not even the sunshine that was forecast just lots of cloud. Awful start to winter.

There is still some thin high cloud around, but the Sun has broken through that quite nicely so that a total of 1.5 hours of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

However, there is still some frost around although the temperatures have jumped up by quite a lot over the last hour or so, so that the temperature at 12 noon was 4.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 3°C at Edinburgh Airport and 2.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Above freezing here now, just. Still frosty in the shade. Frost will probably clear when the cloud moves in later
