A better day today than yesterday with a total of 4.2 hours of sunshine being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 7:40pm BST (18:40 UTC) this evening and with today's showers resulting in only a mere 1.0 mm of rain being recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
However, it was also quite a windy day for the time of the year with maximum wind gusts at Edinburgh Gogarbank reaching around 38 mph from the WSW.
In addition to that, today was also yet another day in which the temperatures have generally been refusing to rise which has been pretty much the story of this so-called "summer" so far, so today's maximum temperature was just a mere 16.44°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank but at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, today was slightly warmer than yesterday with a maximum temperature of 17.73°C.
As I write, the temperature at the botanic gardens is still holding up at around 14°C but at the other stations in Edinburgh, this evening is a bit cooler than yesterday with a temperature of around 12°C.
