Today is fairly bright here in Edinburgh with occasional sunny sunny although there was an earlier brief shower of rain.

It's not quite as windy as yesterday but the wind has picked up a bit once again in the last hour to around 46 mph from the SW at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

Today is also not quite as warm as yesterday but it's still a lot warmer than of late and the temperature as at 11:40am BST (10:40 UTC) this morning was around 13°C here in Edinburgh.

Sorry😳Put it down to absent-mindedness!

Much better than Manchester where the big game is in rain

Yes, and a very welcome and much needed 10.53 hours of sunshine was recorded for today in the end at Edinburgh Gogarbank which makes today our sunniest day of this month so far by quite a considerable amount.

In addition to that, the wind has died down a bit although it's still fairly windy as I write.

As at 9:10pm BST (20:10 UTC) this evening, the temperature here in Edinburgh was around 10°C.

As at 9am BST (08:00 UTC) this morning, the temperature here in Edinburgh was around 8°C, so it's a little bit cooler than of late but not all that cold.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 3:30pm BST (14:30 UTC) this afternoon was around 13°C here in Edinburgh.

For recent reports of South Coast regional flooding, see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13286815/UK-weather-Storm-Kathleens-downpours-flooding-River-Arun-deluge-breaks-out.html  (but ignore reports of downpours and deluges - the river may have been high but the flooding was tidal - and it's just sloppy journalism). But the photos are valid

Meanwhile, as at 7:10am BST (06:10 UTC) this morning, the temperature here in Edinburgh was around 8°C.

The type of weather I quite like in late November with dark nights and the promise of a winter on the way (not that that promise ever leads to anything decent these days), where you can hunker-down for the evening and listen to the rain lashing against your windows. In April, after months of awful, wet weather? No thanks.

After this storm I think Edinburgh will be nearing 100mm of rain (normal is around 45-50mm for April)

Given that it's still quite early in the month, we are indeed bound to end up with more than 100 mm of rain during this month for the second month in a row but that is something which might not necessarily happen as quickly as you would think (if high pressure was suddenly to take over for the rest of this month, that could still end up not even happening at all).

For most of this morning and afternoon, the rain has actually been a lot lighter to the point where there's only been a further 1.0 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank since 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning with nothing at all during the last three hours as I write.

In fact, the rain has now completely cleared away now with just the odd shower around and it's even become a lot brighter with some sunshine even starting to come through.

That in turn has allowed the temperature to creep up a bit to around 10°C here in Edinburgh as at 4:30pm BST (15:30 UTC) this afternoon although there is still a cold wind around.

It would be good to reach 16C for the first time this year, let alone the magic 21C.

Surprised you haven't hit 16c yet. I'd say here the weather turned for the better late March , yes some poor days since but decent temps and sunshine amounts ok. Looks like more HP is trying to move in next 10 days. So hopefully an improvement for most on its way.

It's being close to the coast I think. The southerly or south-westerly winds off the cooler Channel help lower the temps.

Later on around the autumn when sea temps are higher it's often the opposite and milder near the coast. 

I'll probably be moaning in a few weeks if things get hot and too dry.

As at 8:40am BST (07:40 UTC) this morning, the temperature was around 7°C here in Edinburgh.

I have no idea if this trend will continue but based on how these changes occur with weakening fronts as one sign, I think it likely that a dry spell (a long one?) beckons. Warmer/calmer/sunnier would be great even if we are already enjoying above average temp wise. It doesn't really feel it though with this cloud cover.
