Quite comfortable in Edinburgh. A low of 15 C and a moderate westerly wind and cloud. Was hoping for a nice sunny start! At least the house is cool.
I think we will have an Atlantic influence today

Thankfully, that didn't happen and in the end, last night's overnight minimum temperature was 14.42°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 14.69°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which is still warm, but not warm enough to even give us our warmest night of this summer, let alone our warmest June night on record.
In terms of sunshine, this spell of weather has been hotter than the May hot spell but not as sunny here. That is important because this has been a dull month so far and even with this spell of weather, we're still not really making up that sunshine deficit to the same extent as we were at this same stage of May. As a result, this month is now looking certain to go down as a duller than average month here.
This morning is the perfect example of what I said above because although there is some sunshine at times here, there is also a lot of cloud around with only occasional sunny spells.
Currently around 17°C here in Edinburgh, which is a little bit cooler than at this time yesterday but only just. In the end, I still wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with another hot day but today isn't forecast to be as hot as yesterday and I don't think it will be.
