Edinburgh's Max today is 13 C with continuous drizzle. Yuk!!
That makes it hard to believe as well, that this coming weekend will mark the beginning of the Edinburgh Trades fortnight (not that any of us will be able to go very far this year of course, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic).
Anyway, the drizzle has gone from here, but there is still a cold wind blowing straight in from off the North Sea and it remains very dull and dismal.
The result of this is that today is now looking certain to go down as the first completely sunless day of this month already, at Edinburgh Gogarbank and our fourth sunless day of this so-called "summer".
As for the drizzle, that has resulted in a total of 0.8 mm of rain being recorded at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (which have now just re-opened to the public as from today, albeit to only a limited number of people at any time) since 10am (09:00 UTC) this morning.
Once again though as was the case this morning, there is still no rainfall at all being recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank just now.
As for the temperatures, this is just getting a bit ridiculous now, as today's maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was just 12.9°C which is just absolutely abysmal when you consider that we are now into what is supposed to be high "summer", and what should be the warmest month of the year on average, according to the 1981-2010 averages (to be honest, I've seen higher temperatures than that before at Christmas).
That makes today, our second coldest day of this so-called "summer" (if we can even call it that now) with only 13 June 2020 being slightly colder than that.
However, the temperature at 7pm this evening was still close to 13°C here in Edinburgh.
