Here in the most boring part of the UK when it comes our weather, our winter borefest goes on as I have now just woken up to another overcast and grey nothingness, with nothing which is even remotely interesting in terms of our weather actually happening.
With there being too much cloud around, the temperatures continued to go up during the night to the point where for a few hours just a short while ago, we were having to endure that ultimate winter nightmare of night-time double figures temperatures.
The temperatures have dropped back a bit during the last hour or so, but it remains very mild which means that our frost-free hell goes on.
Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 7.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 6°C at Edinburgh Airport and 7.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. This makes last night the mildest night of this month so far at all three of my local stations.
Today's maximum temperature so far is 10.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 10°C at Edinburgh Airport and 10.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 9.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 9.9°C 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.
