15.3, dew 14.3, with the overnight low being 12.6 (the lowest since the 15th June, and cooler than any night in July). Yesterday's high was 25.0... not long ago I'd have considered that a very warm day, but these days it barely warrants mention.

This means that the first 20+°C maximum of this month has now been recorded at all of the above stations with the exception of the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and even there, you can't get any closer to getting a 20+°C maximum without that actually happening.

I will be travelling back to Edinburgh tomorrow, but I'm not there just now. Nevertheless, my experiences of living in the north of Edinburgh (I have also lived in Leith in the past) tells me that there has probably been a North Sea influence at play here which has prevented a 20+°C maximum from being recorded today at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Down here in Hawick, today was the best day weatherwise for quite a while. There was plenty of sunshine from the word go although it has now clouded over during the course of this evening, and there has been virtually no wind all day apart from a very slight breeze at times.

Today has also felt warm in the sunshine, though never all that hot.

Currently around 16°C here.

Last night's low was 18.7 and yesterday's high was 24.6.

The drought continues, with the last measurable rain (0.2mm) on the 30th June.

It's 'Coolwave' No. 5 underway for us! 

Currently raining down here in Hawick as well although the radar maps show that we are now on the southern edge of that rain band.

As a result, I’m expecting the rain to clear away from here fairly soon although it may well be a few hours before that happens in Edinburgh.

I will be travelling back up to Edinburgh later on after my two week break down here and I’m expecting it to be mostly dry by then even in Edinburgh, although there is expected to still be a lot of cloud around even after that.

Currently around 13°C down here.

The rain has stopped but it's still very cloudy and grey

I was at Waverley Station earlier watching the train from King's Cross. Hundreds of folk getting off dressed in t-shirts, shorts & sandals! 😂

Hope they have something warm and waterproof!!

These are 19.88°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 17.99°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, 17°C at Edinburgh Airport, 19.8°C at Swanston in the south of Edinburgh and 21.29°C at Charterhall down in the Borders.

This doesn't happen very often but today was actually cooler than it was forecast to be, especially here in Edinburgh due to that North Sea effect. There were no 20+°C maximums here in Edinburgh today and this means that the wait for the first 20+°C maximum of this month at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh now goes on for at least another day.

However, there was another 20+°C maximum at Charterhall which is much further inland than any of the Edinburgh stations. After coming home from a relatively warm Hawick earlier on today, it actually feels a bit chilly here in NW  Edinburgh with that wind coming in from off the North Sea.

The rain in Hawick cleared away by lunchtime but on my journey north, I then ran into another shower of rain as I approached Newtongrange in Midlothian. Here in Edinburgh, there was then a further shower of rain in the early part of this evening. In between all of that, it has been mostly cloudy with only a little bit of hazy sunshine at times.

Currently around 16°C here in Edinburgh

19.3, dew 18.3, following a low of 16.5. Yesterday's high, with a wind off the sea for much of the time, was 24.6.

EDIT: 30.1 now, the 9th day this extended summer to hit 30 and, to my knowledge, the first time it's happened four months in a row here.

It's reached 17 C by noon

To quote Darren "utterly useless weather for doing anything much outside" but for totally different reasons!
