The day has ended on an overcast note and in the end, the really abysmal total of just 18 minutes of sunshine was recorded for the whole of today at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
Now, I can report that it has just recently started raining here in Edinburgh although there has still been no recorded rainfall during today so far in this part of the world as at 8pm this evening.
Today's maximum temperature was 4.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 5°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.9°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Now, the temperatures are refusing to drop as a result of there being too much cloud around
and so, the temperature at 8pm was 4.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 4.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
