Despite being nearer to the Low Pressure and therefore quite breezy at times the last couple of weeks in Edinburgh haven't been too bad. Sunny spells most days, only light showers and 17-19 C. All pretty normal stuff
More like bloomin' BORING if you ask me. In fact it has now become so repetitively boring here now, that I don't even bother to look outside to see what it is actually like any more because I already know what it will be like.
I know that it's not likely to be raining (if it is, that isn't going to be for long with any daily totals never amounting to more than 0.6 mm if anything at all).
I also know that it is likely to be cloudy and although the Sun might be shining, that is never going to be for long (hence the reason why we still haven't had a single day during this month with 8 or more hours of sunshine being recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank).
This is what it is like every single day now, without even a single bit of respite from that at any time, and the truth of the matter is that we just don't get actual weather here any more (at least, weather which is actually interesting).
Ideally, what I would to see at this time of year is a bit more in the way of sunshine as my ideals like a lot of people, would have been for a decent summer (which this has certainly not been, in that particular department at least).
Failing that though, I will even take a bit more in the way of rainfall, just as long as it is something to make our weather a bit more interesting, and get us out of this never-ending and suicide-inducing hell-hole of a summer borefest which we continue to be stuck in.
Surely, that can't be too much to ask given given what we would expect our typical climate to be like. In my book, this is NOT typical Scottish weather because our typical Scottish weather never used to anywhere near as boring and uninteresting as what it has now become in this part of the world.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
