The weather has been a little bit more interesting during this afternoon, but still not exactly exciting.
The main interest comes from the fact that the rain during this afternoon did become a bit heavier for a while, but it wasn't too long before that all cleared away which means that a total of just 1.0 mm of rain has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank (where today will therefore, go down as an official rain day as a result) along with just 0.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. That is all very tedious stuff to me, and is the main reason why this afternoon's weather is still not exactly all that exciting.
That is particularly true since there is still a lot of cloud around which means that nothing in the way of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 4pm this afternoon.
Nevertheless, it is also still very windy with the wind at Edinburgh Gogarbank still gusting up to 33.6mph from the WSW at 4pm this afternoon.
Today's maximum temperature was 10.9°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 11°C at Edinburgh Airport and 11.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
However, the temperature then took a bit of a dip after the rain moved through and so, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 9.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 10.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
