Cloudy at times, and still very windy with mean wind speeds at Edinburgh Gogarbank of 24.2mph from the SW as at midnight, but with gusts up to 40.4mph.

What is also remarkable is that the air pressure is also very low at 970.9mb and falling at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at midnight. This isn't something which I have been recording but if my memory serves me right, that is likely to be the lowest air pressure which we have had during this winter, and possibly for some considerable amount of time.

In the end, a total of 6.2 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with 4.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. This made yesterday, the wettest day of the winter so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

As a result of there being far too much wind around and also too much cloud around, the temperatures are still refusing to drop.

With that in mind, the temperature at midnight was 6.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 7°C at Edinburgh Airport and 7.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

EDIT:

I've just looked out again and noticed that it has now started raining here once again.

Patchy cloud and gusty wind. 5.7c

It's another cloudy morning here, but with the odd brighter spell.

There was a little bit of rain just after midnight, but this has only resulted in a total of 0.6 mm of rain being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with just 0.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh as at 8am this morning.

It's still very windy though with the wind at Edinburgh Gogarbank still gusting up to 36.7mph from the WSW at 8am this morning.

With all of that cloud and wind around, the temperatures refused to drop and so, our frost-free hell goes on.

Last night's minimum temperature was 4.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.9°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 7.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 7°C at Edinburgh Airport and 7.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Wind W strong breeze, increasing

Temp 6.1C

It's easing now but still very spikey. 6.4C

Winds really picked up early a.m. demanding windows 'latched' so we didn't lose them!

Still blowy but rain now pushed off.

Bright 'n' breezy, everything drying up quite easily (well, only 2.4 mm fell yesterday). However, it is making the current 9.8 c & 76% h feel fresh & airy.

The usual garbage Saturday weather. Sunless grey skies and a rotten nasty rattling cold wind. 7.4C  

Mainly cloudy. Some sun. Rain and even hail.

9.2c. Humidity 72% Rh.

1003 hPa. WSW Breeze 16 mph.

It also remains very windy here and in fact, the wind has got even stronger and was now gusting up up to 43.5mph from the WSW at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

There was also a heavy but fairly brief shower of rain just a while ago as well.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 12 noon was 8.6°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 9.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

However, there has also been the odd shower around which means that a total of 1.0 mm of rain has now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank (where today will therefore, go down as an official rain day as a result) as at 4pm this afternoon along with 0.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Although it's not quite as windy just now as it was earlier on though, the wind at Edinburgh Gogarbank was still gusting up to 36.7mph from the WSW at 4pm this afternoon.

Today's maximum temperature was 8.9°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 9.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 7.6°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 8°C at Edinburgh Airport and 8.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

In the end, a total of 3.0 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8pm this evening was 5.0°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Raining. 6.8 c & 92% h but winds are light at the moment.

With 4.2 mm so far this evening, it's already wetter than the whole of yesterday put together. At least it should be a quiet night around here as I can't imagine the local night clubbers would want to hang around outside for too long, unless drunk or stupid  . . . . oh, wait . . .
