Today's maximum temperature was 20.03°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 19.63°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh with a total of 9.0 mm of rain being recorded from today's thunderstorms along with 4.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
It's been a very dull day, especially towards the end of the day with yet more easterly muck now coming in from the North Sea to bring us a very dark (this makes it hard to believe that the summer solstice was only a few days ago) and foggy end to the day.
The result of this is that the rather dismal total of just 1.3 hours of sunshine were recorded for the whole of today at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
Given that we are now past the summer, the days are only going to shorten as we get further into the rest of this summer. One aspect of a decent summer is that it should be sunnier than average but given that it will be harder to get any big sunshine totals later on in the summer due to the shortening days, this is when we really need to be getting that sunshine if this summer is going to have the best chance of being sunnier than average in the end and at the moment, the omens don't look very good on that front.
As I write, the temperature is currently around 14°C here in Edinburgh.
