A lie-in on a Sunday morning is a traditional thing for a lot of us and so, I hope that you enjoy your lie-in.

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.

Sunny and calm with blue skies again.

The maxes this weekend were 18.7c and 18.8c (the latter, today) so respectable if not exactly that warm.

There is also a lot more in the way of cloud around now which means that today hasn't been as sunny as yesterday overall, although there are still decent sunny spells coming through at times.

Meanwhile, the temperature has now dropped to around 12°C here in Edinburgh.

Currently dry and a temp of 10.5c in Okehampton.

Despite the fact that I'm more or less at the opposite end of the UK from where you are, it's a similar story here as well except that we have a breeze from off the North Sea and the temperature here in Edinburgh is around 10°C which is only just below your reported value.

There is the odd break in that cloud which has led to the odd brighter interval and even a very brief glimpse of the Sun.

The forecast has today remaining cloudy and even cooler than yesterday with even a small chance of light rain or drizzle for a while but given how this spring has gone so far, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Sun still managed to break through with none of that light rain or drizzle occurring, and with the temperatures ending up being higher than what has actually been forecast for here.

There were a few sunny intervals earlier on this morning, but today has been mostly overcast with a few light showers. These showers haven't amounted to much and have only made the surfaces a bit damp but even that is something which we've not seen here for quite a long time.

There is also still a wind from off the North Sea and a temperature of only around 13°C here in Edinburgh which isn't even the least bit warm for this time of the year any more.

8.3c, low 6.7c.

Currently around 10°C here in Edinburgh

EDIT:

Also unlike yesterday though, we've not had to wait for long for the Sun to once again break through and once again, this is turning into yet another nice day in this spring in which the Sun for the vast majority of the time has just kept on refusing to stop shining.

As a result of that, I have no doubt that today will probably end up being a lot warmer than yesterday although at the moment, the temperature here in Edinburgh is now currently around 11°C.

Well forecast for the 21st by someone on TWO over a week ago. Thank you.

On train to London dressed for summer but should have checked the forecast, might see some rain. 

Other than that, rather overcast with a chilly feeling 14.7 C & low-80% H but winds are light. Quite a contrast to yesterday's max of 21.9 C and sunshine.
