-1.5c clear

Low -6.2c. 

Clear sky all day but the sun still not rising above the horizon here in my part of Blackford

Incidentally at 5pm there was still a glimmer of twilight!

Last night's overnight temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was -6.6°C with the temperature even dropping as low as -8°C at Edinburgh Airport which makes last night our coldest night of the winter so far and our coldest night since 2 December 2023.

The skies are clear just now and this morning should start off on a bright and sunny note a bit later on when the Sun comes up.

Currently around -6°C here in Edinburgh.

I love how atmospheric it feels when it's freezing, murky and there's snow on the ground.

As well as the lying snow, there's a rime on the trees making their bare branches white. The scene is magnificent, one of my favourite sights in nature.

 I think that's how it is good as it'll get with this Winter IMBY.  😁

There was quite a bit of cloud around for a while this morning but the skies are now mostly clear once again and so it is also mostly sunny once again.

Meanwhile, the temperature here in Edinburgh has now gone up to around -3°C but since it is now after 9am (09:00 UTC), an official air frost will now be recorded once again for tonight at all three of my local stations regardless of what happens between now and 9am GMT (09:00 UTC) tomorrow morning.

It's most unusual to have a temperature of -1C in the late morning, and I'm enjoying every minute. It'll go above freezing later, but I expect it to be one of those days where the frost stays in the shade all day long.

-1.1, dew -1.9, and -1.1 is the high so far. Last night's low was -3.6 in the end, the coldest night since 2022 (when it reached -3.9).

Very cold again though, last night was -7 C and it's still -2.5 C at Noon! Another very widespread frost but lovely blue sky

Yes, it's nice to see the Sun and with the days now slowly lengthening, we should be getting our sunniest days of the winter so far under these conditions.

At the same time though, this is what destroys our chances of getting an actual ice day because despite those really low overnight temperatures, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank and Edinburgh Airport have now jumped up to around 1°C (0..8°C at Gogarbank).

For now, we're still hanging onto a temperature of -2.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh but it will no doubt be above freezing there before too much longer in the sunshine.

It's 2pm and still -2 C here 🤔

Edit.....i see the Airport is also 1 C

I think it's because I'm in a frost hollow

Rather you than me Ian. Been a damp or even wet morning here.

I don't think so as the temperature even at the botanic gardens has also jumped up to around 1°C, so it's amazing what a bit of sunshine can do.

According to weatherobs.com, all of the stations in Edinburgh are now above freezing with even Swanston in the south of Edinburgh now reporting a temperature of 0.6°C.

In addition to that, the figures for Gogarbank are fairly consistent overall with those figures which are being recorded for the other Edinburgh stations.
