Max was 18.4c, mostly sunny all day, not a single shower here.

Until this evening, it was mainly dry apart from the odd very light shower earlier on this morning, with some sunny intervals at times.

There was a period of heavier rain during this evening but once again, this just hasn't been picked as any significant rainfall at any of the nearby major stations and it just seems now that everyone else on this forum gets to report some decent rainfall totals in their area, that is never going to happen here regardless of what our weather is actually like.

As at 7:40pm BST (18:40 UTC) this evening, a total of 4.8 hours of sunshine was recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank but as today is ending on a mostly cloudy note, that is likely to be today's final total.

Today was cooler than yesterday as well with very disappointing temperatures for this time of the year as today's maximum temperatures reached only 15.65°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 16.13°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Now as I write, this evening is bordering on being ridiculously cold for this time of the day at this time of the year with the temperature here in Edinburgh already down to around 9°C as this so-called "summer" continues to go even further down the toilet pan.😡

This has then taken us into the usual mix of cloud and sunshine to start off today which barely ever changes here from one day to the next.

As I write, the temperature here in Edinburgh has recovered to around 12°C.

16.3, dew 11.2.

We had 2mm! The forecast on TWO for LN3 5TY suggested 1.8mm @ 15.00. Not bad! 😁

Today's showers resulted in a total of 2.0 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank but on this occasion, that is probably fair enough as today's showers weren't quite as torrential as what we witnessed in other recent days which means that today's total is a least more representative of what I actually witnessed. In my books, there's nothing more frustrating than seeing what seems like a lot of rain over a period of time, only for very little of that to picked up by the major local weather stations as actual recorded rainfall, especially when that comes after a drier spell, resulting in a deficit which needs to be made up.

Today was slightly warmer than yesterday but today's temperatures were still disappointing for this time of the year with a maximum temperature of only 16.02°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 16.47°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Currently a rather cool 10°C here in Edinburgh although even that isn't quite as cool as this time yesterday.

Today actually started off on a bright and sunny note and I was able to witness a nice looking sunsrise from my bedroom and living room windows as I saw the Sun rise over Inchkeith Island in the middle of the Firth of Forth.

However, you would have needed to have been up in the early hours of this morning to have been able to see any sunshine here as it then very soon clouded over from the SW with light to moderate rain having now set in here.

In addition to that, the temperatures are also generally refusing to rise, so the temperature here in Edinburgh is currently only a rather pathetic (for this time of the year) 11°C as it continues to feel not even remotely like "summer" here.😡️

Meh.

The max will end up a fair bit higher, of course, and as you've already had 13 it's not a record.

7th June 1985, max 12.5 at Heathrow, 12.4 London Weather Centre, 12.0 in Sheerness, the other end of Sheppey. The June max in Sheerness in 1985 was 20.6 and only two days hit 20!

There was some rain earlier on today which has now cleared to leave us with a few breaks in the cloud and even the odd brighter interval. This rain event resulted in a total of 3.6 mm of rain being recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank which is still not all that much although that is more than what. we have been getting lately.

In my last post on here, I mentioned the fact that you had be up really early to have witnessed any sunshine and it turns out that this sunshine actually came too early to be picked up by any of our major stations as actual recorded sunshine. The result of this is that today will now officially go down as our second completely sunless day of this summer which is very poor fare given that we are now close to the summer solstice when our possible available sunshine on any given day should be at around the maximum for the year as a whole (we've now already had more sunless days at Edinburgh Gogarbank during the first couple of weeks of this summer than what was recorded there during the whole of the spring).

Temperatures were also very poor for this time of the year once again with today's maximum temperature reaching only 16.07°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 15.85°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

However, it is a bit warmer now than it was at this time yesterday with the temperature still holding up at around 14°C here in Edinburgh.
