The sky still appears to be fairly clear. However, the wind has picked up a bit once again and because there is now too much wind around, the temperatures yet again, are refusing to drop.

So, the temperature at midnight was 3.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 3.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Calm, patchy light cloud, frosty. 0.5c

Max yesterday 4.2c

Overnight Min -2.1c

Wind SSE strong breeze

Temp 5.3C

Cloudy light breeze 1C.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 1.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 2°C at Edinburgh Airport and 1.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Part cloudy with some sunshine, frost on roofs.

Temp 0.4C

Overnight low -0.5C

Pressure 1021mb

Highly appropriate that the yearly sun total has been stuck on 1666.6 hours for the past few days. These SE'lies are the work of the devil. Pure evil.

It looks like at least six hours of snow here from 5pm tomorrow, with slow thaw on Sunday.

Low of -1.9c at 07:55 This morning.

Now -0.4c. Humidity 73% Rh

1022 hPa. Easterly breeze 8 mph. Mainly cloudy with some sunshine.

Down to a respectable -5C last night, and -6.6C at nearby Farnborough (6am minimum), with a grass temp of -11C.  

That's an awful lot of sunshine for just a few days, considering that there are only 24 hours altogether in a single day. Because of that, I can see that this is probably just a typo, so I'm wondering if you actually meant 1.6 hours of sunshine in the past few days here.

He's referring to the annual total. The intended meaning is clearer if you reorder the words from "stuck on 1666.6 hours for the past few days" to "stuck for the past few days on 1666.6 hours".

Complete altostratus cloud cover, calm, dry.

1.8*C after minima of -1.7*C at 3am and 4.45am.

83%RH; 1020.2mb steady.

A hard frost last night - even at 7.30 yesterday evening it took me over 5 minutes to clear the car windscreen.

Cloudier than of late but still with the odd bright breaks. It is also feeling truly cold in the brisk east wind with 3.5 c and the 73% h bringing dp down to -1 c. But it was also the same east wind and cloud cover that prevented temps from falling any lower than 3.3 c at 3 am last night and thus a frost was not observed here at the coastal edge.

Aha!! I see that now, as I have just realised that I hadn't read the first part of that sentence properly where he did refer to the yearly total (I was always absolutely hopeless at English (whilst being a bit better at Maths in particular, as well as Physics and Chemistry) when I was at at School, and this is just another example of that).

Current view of the Pentlands just to my south

Snizzle/graupel pretty constantly here all morning. Currently 1.9c

A good looking view indeed, except that it's a shame to see the Pentland Hills still green at this time of the year. I can remember years from my childhood where the Pentland Hills would already have had their first covering of snow by as early as late October with temperatures generally getting no higher than about 7°C here.

This means that to be this far into the year now without a single covering of snow on the Pentlands so far during this current autumn/winter season, is just ridiculous in my book.

Anyway and back on topic, A completely sunny morning here means that a total of 1.5 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

There was a very late dip in the temperatures during this morning which was enough to result in a slight frost forming over cars and grassy areas. With the temperatures remaining above freezing though at all three of my local stations, this was no more than a slight ground frost.

This morning's minimum temperature was 0.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 1°C at Edinburgh Airport and 0.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

However, the temperatures have shot up be quite a bit over the last hour or so and at 12 noon, the temperature was 4.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 2.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

According to the Met Office's most recent video forecasts on their own website, today was supposed to be the coldest day of the winter so far with the temperatures barely getting above freezing here. Yet, this is turning into yet another day which is not exactly all that cold for this time of the year.

Broken cloud with sunshine.

2.9c. Humidity 65% Rh. 

Mostly clear, very light SE winds, -0.6 C @ 86% RH and pressure steady @ 1022mb. Frost has persisted in the shade all day.
