We've had some sunny spells this morning and my 2 digital thermometers reached 12.9 C and 13.0 C around 1230 so we've likely had our warmest day of the year so far 😎

As for the temperature, it could be a very close call as to whether or not today ends up being the warmest day of the year so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
So far, the figure to beat for that is 13.10°C as recorded on 23 January 2024.
Today's highest recorded temperature so far is only 12.8°C but the actual maximum temperature is always either the same as or higher than the highest recorded temperature which makes it a real possibility that today could indeed be our warmest day of the year so far.
As at 4pm GMT (16:00 UTC) this afternoon, the temperature had dropped to 10.9°C but even that is still milder than it should be at this time of the year.
EDITToday's 12 hour maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank up to 6pm GMT (18:00 UTC) has been confirmed as 12.9°C.
Actual maximum temperatures are officially recorded for each 24 hour period from 09:00 UTC on one day to the same time on the next day but with the above mentioned figure, today is not likely to be our actual warmest day of this day so far after all, although we have ended up coming very close to that.
