A rather dismal afternoon here in Edinburgh as our summer permacast has once again, recommenced with the result that a total of just 2.4 hours of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 5pm this afternoon.
In addition to that, there has also been some rain, especially during the last hour or so.
At Edinburgh Gogarbank, this has now increased today's rainfall totals to 1.4 mm as at 5pm this afternoon which means that today will now go down as yet another official rain day there.
However, a total of just 0.4 mm of rain has now been recorded for today so far as at 5pm this afternoon at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh where I'm not convinced that their rain gauges are actually recording all of the rain which has actually fallen.
Today's maximum temperature was 19.8ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 20ºC at Edinburgh Airport and 20.3ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh so there are no problems with today's temperatures.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 5pm this afternoon was 15.2ºC at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 16ºC at Edinburgh Airport and 16.2ºC at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
