Rather cloudy and mild with the temperatures once again, refusing to drop as a result of there being too much cloud around.

Meanwhile, the temperature at midnight was around 10°C.

Clear sky and 10.6C, it should get very mild but with wind gusting near 50mph perhaps not.
It will be warmest so far this year - which won't be hard since only reached 11.3C on 17th Feb.

Here in Edinburgh, the borefest goes on as today has started off with yet more constant grey skies and nothing which is even remotely interesting, actually happening.

As the temperature once again refused to drop during last night, our frost-free hell goes on and now, it is ridiculously mild for this time of the morning and for such an early point in the year where we are after, supposed to still be in "winter".

Last night's minimum temperature was 9.6°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 9.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and I've seen lower values for that even in the middle of summer.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 11.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 11°C at Edinburgh Airport and 11.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Featureless low cloud cover, light W wind, dry.

9.9*C after a minimum of 6.7*C at 2.45am.

Rather overcast, not as bright as it has been of late but going by the satellite images it may not be that long before the sun break through.

10.1 c & 90% h under what appears to be calm wind.

14°C and rising in- I can't believe I'm saying this in February- strong sunshine.

Cloud cover now breaking letting in pleasant sunshine.

Dry after early showers

Breeze from the SW

Not bad at all!

The clouds from earlier on have broken up quite nicely now although a total of just exactly an hour of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

As far as the temperatures are concerned though, this is just getting a bit ridiculous now as there has been days even in the middle of summer when it hasn't been as warm as what it has now become which makes it hard to believe that this is actually still our "winter".

Meanwhile, the temperature at 12 noon was 13.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 13°C at Edinburgh Airport and a ridiculously warm 14.7°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which already makes today, the warmest day of this "winter" at all three of my local stations, as well as the warmest day of this year so far at all three of my local stations.

A lovely day for February. Long sunny spells and almost calm winds.

There is some high cloud around, but the skies are still mostly clear. At the same time, it has been an exceptionally warm day here which means that today can't be all that far away from being our warmest February day on record here in Edinburgh, especially at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which has recorded the highest temperatures out of all of my three local stations.

Today's all important maximum temperature was 14.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 14°C at Edinburgh Airport and 15.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 12.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 12°C at Edinburgh Airport and 12.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

It's surprising but visibility is excellent and landscape colours seemed especially striking

The 18.3°C earlier inland at Aboyne is a new February Scottish record.

According to what I have read as well though, it was somewhere in your own city which held the old Scottish record of 17.9°C although the article in question, didn't mention which station in Aberdeen that old record was recorded.

I am just wondering now though, about whether or now Richard will now be complaining about it being too warm, although he might actually be quite a good person to ask here because although he is most famous on this forum for being one of it biggest moaners, he also provided some very good information in the past when it comes to past temperature statistics not just for his own city of Aberdeen, but also for other locations in Scotland such as here in Edinburgh.

The temperatures are now falling away under clear skies, but the fact that it is still mild in spite of that shows just how exceptionally warm for this time of year, that today has been.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8pm this evening was 10.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 8.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Clear.
