Significantly mild per at 10.8C but it is still grey and overcast (and will be back to the colder conditions tomorrow). It is also much windier today.

After 6 solidly grey, cold and gloomy days, this morning's rain has just cleared and I can see patches of blue sky! The temperature is 11 C and it feels so much better 🙂

Yes, and I can even report that a very strange and bright object has also just appeared in the sky.

That could easily be reported as a UFO given what it's been like recently but after further research, I discovered that this strange object is something which is known as the Sun.😎

It's also a bit warmer than of late with a temperature of around 11°C here in Edinburgh but this comes after an exceptionally mild night for the time of year and it's actually cooler just now than it was during last night.😡

---

It's 6.15pm, only 7 C but it's a mostly clear sky with a great sunset. Just walked through the meadows in south Edinburgh, full of people jogging and playing sport. The blackbirds are singing and for me, after the horrible gloomy, wet winter, tonight is the first Spring evening!! 😎

---

Normal service has been resumed here in Edinburgh once again with a return to constant grey skies, and with light rain also falling as I write.😡

Currently around 6°C here in Edinburgh as at 6:10am GMT (06:00 UTC) this morning.

9.3C and rising quickly, light high cloud, wind from a W-ly point.

---

March up here has been reasonably dry so far (17mm = 26%), cool (mean 5 C = -0.5 C) and very dull (20hrs sun = 20%)

Looks like things are changing on the precipitation though, rain is set in for the day after a rare sunset last night, it's 6 C

The rain started off light here, but has become heavier over time (I had to venture outside a short while ago, but wasn't willing to stay out in that weather for any longer than I had to, so I then came back indoors as quickly as I could).

In addition to that, the temperatures are also refusing to rise, and remain stuck as a rather chilly 6°C here in Edinburgh as at 11am GMT (11:00 UTC) this morning.😡

Horrendous so far today, at least 8 hours of steady rain so far, a NE breeze picking up and a max of 6.5 C 🤢

---

So the mild air never reached up here. Another cold wet day, 6 C max!! I see it will stay cool tomorrow and Saturday too. Still firmly in winter up here 🥶

Meanwhile in that faraway land of the SE it's 17 C!! We can only dream of that

Well, er, in some parts. Kew has reached 16.6 and there are reliable 16s SE-wards from there. But on the coast here - and the MetO considers us to be in the SE - it's only 11C with recent rain. https://www.weatherobs.com/

I wouldn't go as far as saying that we were stuck in winter here as it can be a lot colder at this time of year than it is today (we only have to go back to 2018 to find that we even had an ice day at the beginning of March in that year and of course, it's possible to even get snow as far into the year as May even though we seem to get very little of that stuff even in the depths of winter these days).

Nevertheless, it certainly isn't even the least bit spring-like today.😡

We need to split this thread if not all threads into a northern branch and southern branch. So often the weather is the complete opposite.
So today is our first decent day of 2024. Sunny and bright periods, dry and climbing to 18.3C mid afternoon - the warmest of 2024 by some distance. Long may it continue but I doubt it will by t he looks of it!

Yes a different world here. 12 hours of steady rain and it's now foggy! Max has been just above 6 C. Quite gloomy, we've had our lamps on all day!

---

Cloudy with rain just to the west - it'll be here soon.

13.3, dew 10.3 after a high of 16.8 - beating the 15.9 on the 15th Feb, so the warmest day of the year so far.

A mere 6 degrees above average, that almost counts as cold these days! 😁

---

6.2°C grey and dull with persistent light rain.

Here in Edinburgh, it's finally stopped raining after what has been a complete write-off of a day but there are still quite a number of showers around even now.

Since 9am GMT (09:00 UTC) this morning, a total of at least 18.4 mm of rain has fallen at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 11pm GMT (23:00 UTC) tonight which makes today our wettest day of this year so far.

Meanwhile, the temperature as at that same time, continues to be stuck at around 6°C here in Edinburgh.

10.5C, cloudy, recent rain

---

Another day has dawned but our permacast hell goes on.

It's also very misty with light rain and drizzle continuing to fall here.

Meanwhile, the temperature here in Edinburgh continues to be stuck at around 6°C as at 7:40am GMT (07:40 UTC) this morning with no diurnal temperature range whatsoever.😡

---

It's turning into another horrible day here in Edinburgh as the rain has got much heavier once again with even some fairly bright echoes showing up on the latest radar map in a number of place.

Nevertheless, we now finally have a slight shift in the temperature to around 7°C as at 10am GMT (10:00 UTC) this morning.
