Yes, I can report that it's now raining here in Edinburgh which is something which I've not been able to say for quite a while and given that it's also very gloomy, dull and overcast here, our mid autumn permacast hell goes on for yet another day.

Nevertheless, last night was cooler than of late but not cold enough to give us a ground frost as the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank dropped to 5.8°C but the end result of this is that we've had all that high pressure in the last couple of weeks but not even a single ground frost to show for that which is absolutely pathetic!! (we didn't get much sunshine from that either and last week was very dull, but we at least had a period from that that last weekend when it was very sunny)

Currently around 10°C here in Edinburgh, so the milder air is already starting to arrive here.

EDIT 0915 - the sun has now come out though the radar shows rain not far away

Overcast, 14.1, dew 12.7, with today's high being 15.8.

Yes IMBY from some heavy overnight showery rain that woke me up to check Brian's radar. Pleased is an understatement. 34mm.

Currently 13C with moderate winds from the SSW. Cloudy of course.

Which ties in with my comments in another thread about south central and south east england being different areas. The heaviest rainfall in the south east yesterday at a MetO official station was 29mm at Otterbourne - and that's 30 miles WEST of here i.e. just up the road from Southampton.

Edit. Fell to 6C eventually. Now cloudy.

Now raining steadily 03.10hrs.

05.50hrs. Difficult to judge what is happening weather-wise yet - still dark. With wind from the north our E and W facing windows don't show many clues - but the rain seems less than expected so far.

I travelled down here on Monday and will be travelling back to Edinburgh next Monday.

Here in Hawick, it’s mostly cloudy just now although the Sun briefly came out around an hour or so ago.

I can see that Edinburgh has finally had its first ground frost of this month at long last as the temperature at Gogarbank dropped to 3.7°C. At Charterhall in the Borders, it was a similar story with an overnight minimum temperature of 3.8°C but without any ground frost.

Currently around 8°C here in Hawick.
