A somewhat different day here in Edinburgh for once, but the dismal start to this summer goes on with today being its worst day so far in that regard.
Today started off on a bright and sunny note but you have needed to have been up in the very early hours of this morning to have seen that as it didn't take long for it to then cloud over.
There eventually followed a spell of rain which was then followed by a number of showers with only the odd bright interval in between those showers.
That resulted in a total of 3.8 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank which is well below what a lot of others on this forum, but that was enough for today to go down as our wettest day of this summer so far and the wettest day which we've had for a very long time.
In addition to that, a total of just 1.7 hours of sunshine was recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 8:40pm BST (19:40 UTC) which for this time of the year is absolutely pathetic!!
Today was also quite a bit cooler than yesterday with a maximum temperature of just 17.55°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 17.54°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which also makes today our coolest day of this summer so far.
As I write, it is even cooler than it was at this time yesterday with a temperature of around 12°C here in Edinburgh.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
