For me, my bedroom window faces east which means that at this time of the year, I tend to have very bright sunshine streaming in from the very early hours of the morning, so I have darkened curtains fitted on that window which are very much needed to keep that sunshine out, and thus allow me to also be able to enjoy a lie-in whenever I can, and whenever I want to.
That has already been quite a major issue during this spring, and will only become an even bigger issue as we approach the summer solstice in June, especially if this really sunny weather keeps up.
This morning is no exception to that rule with bright sunshine here in Edinburgh from the word "go" yet again, following on from a clear night.
As we are now just over a month away from the summer solstice though, we are now starting to enter the time of the year when the nights are so short that twilight actually lasts all the way through the night, due to the fact that even when the Sun is at its furthest point below the horizon in the middle of the night, it never gets a chance to get far enough below the horizon for the sky to become completely dark due to the nights being so short. That isn't easy to spot just yet, but that will become more noticeable over time from now on, especially if we continue to get clear nights as we are doing just now.
Even with those very short nights at this time of the year though, those nights can still get rather chilly and last night was one example of that as the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank dropped to just 3.7°C with a ground frost even being recorded.
However, the temperature here in Edinburgh has now recovered to around 9°C in that very bright sunshine, and are forecast to get quite a lot higher yet again.
