A bit brighter now between fronts, at noon it's 20 C at Swanston and 21 C has been reported at the airport

Currently around 26.5C

Humidity is up with dew point around 19-20C range 

Yet down here, the rain just keeps on refusing to fall.

32C° at 3pm.

Down here in the Borders, today's maximum temperature at Charterhall was 21.45°C.

Today was slightly cooler than yesterday which was enough to scupper any possible chances of an official heatwave at the botanic gardens and Charterhall which had been introduced by yesterday's values, but these are still yet more 20+°C maximums right across the board as it continues to refuse to properly cool down.

Whilst Edinburgh was getting a soaking earlier on, there continued to be nothing here in terms of rainfall until this even when we finally got to join that party down here in Hawick at long last but even that has only amounted to some bits and pieces of light rain as that weather front has fizzled out quite a lot as it has eventually come down from the Central Belt.

Currently around 14/15°C in Edinburgh and around 17°C at Charterhall.

Yesterday's 24 hour total at Edinburgh Gogarbank up to 10am BST (09:00 UTC) was 19.2 mm which actually made yesterday the wettest day of this year so far at that particular station and for those of you who were actually in Edinburgh at that time, it's just Sod's Law that this has to happen in the summer, the very time of the year when we would traditionally want it to be drier than average (at least, those of us who would typically be looking for a decent summer).

Outside it's clear (of course), calm (not unusual) and 18.9, dew 15.8, which is the overnight low so far. 

It’s mostly sunny with a temperature of around 11°C.

As for the day ahead, there will probably be some cloud around at some point in time as there usually is but it’s probably not going to be raining regardless of whether or not, the forecasts suggest that it might rain. Furthermore, there will no doubt also be the usual 20+°C maximums across Edinburgh and the Borders despite the forecasts telling us otherwise.

That is basically how our weather normally is which barely ever changes from day to day wherever I am.

That was our overnight low. Refreshing 17C 😄

Currently 25C 

Largely sunny but there has been a scattering of fair weather clouds around.

I'm probably going to notice a different landscape when I drive south to Nottingham on Saturday!

Even if you just came down here to Hawick, you would probably already be starting to notice that difference.

There was just a very brief passing shower this morning but apart from that, everything else is just the same as usual although there is a cooler feel to things today with the temperature currently at around 17°C here.
