White Rabbits!!

It's not just the start of a new month, it's also the start of a new season and today is the first day of the meteorological summer.

Here in Edinburgh, this summer has also started off on a bright and sunny note this morning but there is a fairly cool wind and for now at least, it's not really feeling all that much like summer.

Currently around 9°C here in Edinburgh

Currently mostly cloudy with just the odd puff of wind from the west. 14.1, dew 13.1; last night's low was 12.1 and yesterday's high was 26.1. (Last year it took until the end of June before we hit 25C... around a month early this year).

The showers are fairly heavy at times with a temperature of only around 15°C which isn't even the least bit warm for this time of the year.

Not exactly a great start to this so-called "summer" especially as I've seen many days even in the depths of winter which haven't even been much cooler than that.😡

Last night's low was 12.7 and the high yesterday was 22.2. 

GFS has a whopping 0.6mm of rain forecast for here today, we'll see tomorrow if that was a good forecast!

EDIT 0930 now started raining but not to any great effect. Temp dropped to 15.5C

I've just been up the hill here, very windy with light showers but a lot of the clear sky is milky, pale blue with a coppery sun?

Smoke also noted by CP in the 'Moaning' threads

It was quite potent as it passed over Oxfordshire - 10 minutes of pretty intense tropical type rain ! 

I wasn't expecting anything like that at all today, but it was welcome the garden is very thankful 

It showed up well on the Brians new radar. Glad you hit the sweet spot for your garden.

It certainly did, but it completely blasted the big rose flowers - just a load of petals all over the ground now. Never mind, i'm sure they welcomed the drink !

I swear I can sniff the Canadian smoke!  Thanks CP for the heads up. Well the sky is certainly milky though in normal conditions it would be blue after the front went past. I'll be heading out for an evening stroll on the strand soon. I'll get a better idea whats going on with the wide spaces and skies. It could be the seaweed and salty air I'm currently picking up. Someone of course could be running a hot fish smoker nearby.

It's mostly cloudy, breezy, and a bit cooler than yesterday... albeit the humidity has increased through the day, behind the (non rain-bearing) warm front. 

16.7, dew 13.6, the high so far being 17.6.

12.2, dew 10.8. The overnight low was 10.1 and yesterday's high was 17.6... there was no rain in the end.
