So much better! Blue sky, sea breeze, 19 C at Swanston

All of that has pegged the temperatures back a little bit closer to the coast itself. However, none of that is doing anything to spoil our sunshine in anyway and the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank has risen to just below 20°C which means that the actual maximum temperature for there could already be above 20°C once that is confirmed by the raw BUFR/SYNOP data later on.
When I run my various python scripts in preparation for my reports on various other threads such as the monthly, seasonal or annual stats or for precipitation (the latter of this os of course, a complete waste of time now since our rainfall totals are now, never anything else other than below average), those scripts are always for the data for Edinburgh Gogarbank so if today's maximum temperature for there does show as being over 20°C, I will be reporting a 20+°C maximum anyway, regardless of what happens at any of the other local stations.
