A mostly complete sunny afternoon means that in the end, a total of 4.8 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank. This makes today, the sunniest day of both this month and this year so far, as well as the third sunniest day of this winter so far.
However, it has now clouded over quite a lot and everyone who regularly reads my reports on these threads will know full well, exactly what this always leads to in terms of the temperatures refusing to drop at night (two frosty nights in a row would of course, be asking too much as far as this so-called "winter" is concerned).
Today's maximum temperature was 5.0°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 5°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.9°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 2.9°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 3°C at Edinburgh Airport and 3.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
