"But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand." — Jerome K. Jerome
17C and breezy with about 50% cumulus cloud cover. It actually felt almost cold when I went into the garden this morning, a novel sensation!

Have actually managed to get my study down to below 20c from about 28c yesterday afternoon. Outside it's 18c now after a low in the 13s.

Valentia Observatory (extreme SW of Ireland) 28.2C at 1400 - must be even more unusual than the same temp in the Isle of Wight!

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.

20-21C today with a brisk cooling breeze. Still hot in direct sunshine, but otherwise very pleasant. But no prospect of rain in the near future.

Looking at the fields around here, the wheat has been harvested, the maize is growing well, the grass is still mostly green but it won't take much to dry that out. A few shed leaves from the hazel trees (which always seem to suffer most) and everything else has that late-August slightly faded look about it.
21.2, dew 17.4, the high so far being 21.7.
19 C the maximum in Edinburgh south side. Suspect it's been a bit cooler on the north side near the sea. A mostly sunny day again. John will have the statistics later 🙂

I can already confirm (I don't need to run any python scripts for that) that today's maximum temperature was 19.38°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, but only 17.61°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, so no 20+°C maximum today due to there still being too much of a wind coming in from off the North Sea which has resulted in today being slightly cooler than yesterday although it has still been slightly warmer than the official Met Office predictions.
Currently around 17°C here in Edinburgh
East Galway, Ireland.
We're now 41.9% of the way through this month but this month's sunshine total as I write is now amounting to 43.9% of the 1991-2020 July average, so we've now gone ahead of where we would expect to be at this stage of the month in terms of sunshine. This confirms that normal service has now been resumed in terms of it usually always being drier and sunnier than average after that duller blip over the last couple of months with that difference only looking likely to grow even wider over time as the outlook continues to look very sunny. To be honest, I'm not so sure that I even want to continue reporting that any more as it's just become really boring now.
Currently around 14°C here in Edinburgh
Dull, 12 C with a force 2 NE wind
As we know though, it probably won’t be dull for long and I will be very surprised if it is. The reason why I say that is because in this type of pattern, each day will often start off dull before the Sun breaks through eventually and with that, daily sunshine totals will still tend to be quite high.
That is a pattern which I’m not expecting to change any time soon.
Currently around 13°C here in Edinburgh
The cloud has mostly gone now, the wind has eased to just a light NE'ly. 22.8, dew 19.6, which is the high so far today.
