After the tepid excitement of yesterday evening's cold front, the temperature fell much more slowly overnight. It's now 5.3C, cloudy, with a light NW'ly breeze.

In theory yesterday's rain should have been the last for quite some time!

A thick blanket of low cloud, drizzly mizzle winds calm and a temp of 11.2c. In the last 36hrs the temperature has only fluctuated by 1c.

We don't pick up the slightly cooler air until tomorrow.

Frost on lawn and cars. 4degC. 1032mm. No wind.

Did anyone feel a minor earthquake at 21.45 yesterday evening?
There is no evidence on our local seismometer but a couple of bars of soap had fallen to the floor.

We were supposed to get a frost last night but instead of that,.I have woke up to yet another frost-free horror show as the temperature refused to drop last night yet again, due to there being too much cloud around.

This morning here in Hawick is therefore, just yet another continuation of the usual borefest with yet more constant grey skies, and with nothing which is even remotely interesting in terms of our weather actually happening.

According to Google, the temperature is around 2°C here in Hawick just now.

It's as if the boring and uninteresting weather always wants to follow me around wherever I go.

Up before dawn to go to the butchers, was cloudy then but has cleared nicely now. Temp 3.5c, looks like the fog will arrive toward dusk - which IMO is not a bad substitute for the white stuff at this time of year.

Last night's minimum temperature was -3.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -4°C at Edinburgh Airport and -3.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

I am also noticing that it is still technically possible for an official ice day to be recorded at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh as I write, as the temperature at 12 noon was still down down at -0.7°C

Down here, the earlier cloud cover has all gone and it is now completely sunny with a temperature of 4°C which isn't even all that cold for this time of the year.

 EDIT

I have also noticed that a total of 1.6 hours of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon. This means that despite all of those completely sunless days up there, this month will now go down as being sunnier than average overall, regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month as the total amount of sunshine at that station so far during this month is already more than the 1981--2010 average.

 EDIT NUMBER 2

No official ice day in Edinburgh after all, as the temperature at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh went up to 0.7°C at 1pm this afternoon..

Fair with sunshine and broken high cloud. The 9.7 c felt mild in the sun and light wind.

This weather is more suited for the Easter bank holiday, never mind Christmas . . . but I don't mind as it is nice at the moment.

After a murky start it has cleared to leave a lovely sunny day and at 6C it feels quite seasonal.

However, to my north I can see a broad band of that low cloud and mist lurking. I hope it stays away at least until after sunset.
