12.6C, cloudy. Pavements still damp from yesterday.

Another foggy start to yet another day here in Edinburgh although the visibility isn't quite as bad just now as it was at this time yesterday.

I watched the King's Coronation during yesterday and noticed that it rained for King Charles III during yesterday's events as it did for Queen Elizabeth II's big day back in 1953.

That rain didn't actually reach us here in Edinburgh until much later in the day but when it did, it amounted to a total of 7.8 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 7.8 mm of rain at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

It's not actually raining here just now as I write, but everything is still quite wet here after yesterday's/last night's rainfall.

As at 8am BST (07:00 UTC) this morning, the temperature here in Edinburgh was around 9°C.

8.7°C grey and murky with persistent and at times heavy drizzle.

Very pleasant day, sunny and 18.4c

---

The sun's come out now, a humid and warm afternoon beckons. Might have to roll out the portable a/c later, depending on how quickly it warms up indoors!

There's next to no wind either, a typical summer's day.

19C, dew 14.9C.

Currently in the clear sunny slot between bubbly cumulus to my north and sea fog over the Strait of Dover under a westerly breeze . A seasonal feeling 16.5 C & mid 70% H.

Light cloud. 18.4c. Humidity 68% Rh.
Pressure  1019.0 hPa.
Breeze 9mph East.

18 degrees here after the initial sunblast on my ashp

Just hit 21C for the first time this year. 21.1C under strong sunshine.... still no wind.

Edit: 21.2/ dew 14.8C. It's still getting warmer!

---

My first two 20 C's of the year Friday (including my first thunder) and today....glorious! Of course I'm not in Edinburgh....in Nottingham for the weekend 😄

---

Just reached 26.2C indoors, so for the first time this year - the portable a/c is on.

(21.2C outside, dew 13.7C, after a high of 21.9C earlier. There's no wind, so it's like a greenhouse upstairs!)

In contrast my heating just came as the indoor temperature dropped below 16.5°C.

It maxed out at 9.2°C earlier in the murk. Still murky and currently 8.6°C outside (dew point 8.4°C).

Looks like Aberdeen is in the middle of a puddle of colder air from the sea... wish I could have some of that here!

Normally such a temperature difference between the sea and the land (10C or more) would lead to see breezes, but they've failed to set up today.

And we have been stuck in said puddle for days now with only two brief little blips in the past fortnight. SEly muck at its very worst.

I wonder if that puddle of colder air is centred right on top of Richard's house by any chance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

On a more serious note though, the fog lifted for a while during today, with the Sun coming out as well.

That clearly helped with our temperatures as the highest hourly reading at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 15.5°C which could even be enough to make today our warmest day of this year so far once today's actual maximum temperature is confirmed by the raw SYNOP/BUFR data for that later on this evening.

Even with that though, the really dismal total of just 54 minutes of sunshine has been recorded for the whole of today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 6pm BST (17:00 UTC) this evening although even that is still a lot better than what we had during yesterday which was completely sunless here.😡

As well as that, the east coast haar has now rushed back on from off the North Sea to reduce the visibility to less than 100 yards, which is even worse than what it was first thing this morning.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 6pm BST (17:00 UTC) this evening had dropped back to around 12°C here in Edinburgh.

12.6C; cloud cover light but continuous

A rather wet and miserable start to today here in Edinburgh (no surprise here, since today is a public holiday after all) with light to moderate rain still falling as I write.

However, the wind has now changed direction and as a result, all of that easterly muck from the last couple of days has now finally gone.

Because of that, I'm hopeful that today might actually end up being a bit warmer than of late here, especially if we get any brightness later on and even as early as 8am BST (07:00 UTC) this morning, the temperature here in Edinburgh was already at around 13°C which is warmer than what it has been on other recent mornings at around this time.

Started off quite misty/murky but has now lifted to cloud cover with some brightness. 13.0 C & mid 94% H but virtually no wind.
