There's very little in the way of wind just now, but there appears to be a lot of cloud around as the temperatures haven't really dropped by all that much since my last report here.

In what was quite a remarkable day, a total of 3.2 mm of rain fell during yesterday in the end at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and yet despite those really heavy showers which we experienced then, yesterday still somehow, managed to end up being the first completely day of both this month and this spring at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

Meanwhile, the temperature at midnight was 2.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 3°C at Edinburgh Airport and 1.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Calm, rain has turned to heavy snow but don’t expect it will settle. 0.9c. 

Very strong gusty winds right now with plenty of clear blue sky after having a lot of heavy showers over night.

Temperature 7.9c.

Wind W light breeze

Temp 2.6C

This morning has started off on a cold note with an official air frost being recorded at all three of my local stations.

Unlike on other mornings where this has been the case though, there is no bright and sunny start to today as a result of that this time.

The reason for that is because it has now clouded over and so, this morning has now started off on a dull, overcast, dreary, depressing and soul destroying note with constant grey skies, and with virtually nothing actually happening which is even remotely interesting in terms of our weather.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was -0.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -1°C at Edinburgh Airport and -0.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 0.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 0°C at Edinburgh Airport and 0.7°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Mainly cloudy with occasional bright spells. Windy F5 - 6 after earlier F8 - 9 SW gale.

Max yesterday 10.1c

Overnight Min 1.1c

Well sleety rain has turned into heavy wet snow in the last 20 minutes. Temp 1.3c and very annoyingly if it had been 15 minutes earlier I would have had a day with snow cover.

Cold rain/sleet 1.9c

Wind not too strong yet

6mm rain so far today

Very strong wind gusts

Overcast with rain, no sign of any sleet or snow.

Temp 4.2C

Overnight low 3.2C

Rain since midnight 9.1mm

Pressure 1004mb

Blowing a strong gusty west wind but the sun is out so everything are drying up quickly after 12 mm in total of rain fell overnight.

12.3 c & 65% h.

Broken clouds blowing across in a strong and blustery W wind, dry after 4.3mm rain since midnight.

11.0*C after a minimum of 6.2*C from 1.45am to 2.45am.

64%RH; 1002.6mb rising rapidly after a minimum of 996.5mb at 7.45am.

Wind speed maximum measured at 30mph, but we must have had a stronger gust, as my empty wheely-bin got blown over a little while ago.

Sunny spells in a gale force westerly. 10.8c

It 'feels' very sting jetty. 

Down to -2.2C overnight and negative dew point all morning until the precipitation arrives in the form of a vile icy drizzle

Just beyond a joke. It is just disgusting out there. 3.3C and wind coming from the south, as always, instead of the north which should be bringing cold at this time of year 

Wind easing now. Gusts of up to 53mph on my low level anemometer. Lamp post and tree down in the high road.

Broken Cloud with sunshine at times. Gusty winds.

10.5c. Humidity 53% Rh.

1015 hPa. Westerly Winds 7 - 21 mph.

The earlier wintry mix has moved through and for a brief moment a short while ago, it even brightened up a bit with the odd fleeting glimpse of the Sun.

However, nothing in the way of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon, and there are still some showers around.

As a result of all of that, a total of 2.8 mm of rain has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon along with 1.8 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. That isn't very much, but it is enough to mean that today will once again do down as yet another official rain day at both of those stations.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 12 noon was 3.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh so today is fairly cold for the time of year though to nothing like the same extent as what we had to endure at this time last year.

Just had a heavy snow shower and a couple of rumbles of thunder, snow was snow grains rather than flakes.
