A cloudy end to today means that in the end, a total of 6.2 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank with no further additions to that total since my last report here, although the wind has now died down.
The weather has then continued to deteriorate during this evening, and it is now raining here as I write. This means that a total of 1.2 mm of rain has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank (where today will therefore, go down as another official rain day as a result) as at 8pm this evening along with 0.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 8pm this evening was 4.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 5°C at Edinburgh Airport and 5.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
