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.
 

Hard to believe we are on the same planet! I walked down to the Barber for a hair cut at 9am wearing a shirt and light sweat-shirt I hardly needed. No sweater, jacket, raincoat... 11degC. Pottered about the the garden since - still mild, perhaps a tad more cloudy. No rain yet. Maybe pm.

30 hours of rain or drizzle now with a period of thick fog from late afternoon yesterday until 6am this morning. As yesterday the temperature is around 6 C.

Interesting during the night though, according to the records from Swanston the temperature rose from 5.8 C to 8.8 C and back down to 6 C. This is explained as a waving front/low pressure centre passing over. The moderate rain is now blowing in on a northerly wind which makes sense.

Edinburgh folk that I know are thoroughly fed up with this cold, gloomy and wet March for sure. When will we see the sun??

A proper spring day today - a splash of rain, a sunny spell, some cumulus... and some wind. The sun is warm, strong enough to burn now, but it's not out for long before another cloud drifts across. The garden is full of hoverflies and, surprisingly, several butterflies!

15.5, dew 11.5, the high so far being 15.9. Last night's low was 10.7 and there was 0.6mm of rain earlier in the morning.

A grand sunny afternoon just now - 14decC with a bit of wind. Might even sit in the garden for a bit. 😊
Update  - a short walk round the village, then a pleasant sit in the garden watching a rainbow in the east*. 14deg. Lovely afternoon.

The rain has finally stopped here in Edinburgh.

It's even brightened up a bit and the sun has come out as well.

However, the temperature here in Edinburgh is still only around 7°C as at 3pm GMT (15:00 UTC) this afternoon.

A slight frost earlier now patchy cloud and calm at 5C.

Glorious sunny morning here. 4degC at present. Lawn-mowing day I'd guess. 😁 I've been watching the osprey on the webcam... It has been fetching in twigs for the nest today.

6.0C sunny, a little high cloud mostly derived from contrails.

A much better start to today than of late here in Edinburgh.

Last night was much colder than of late with an official air frost at all three of my local stations but that has now taken us into a bright and sunny start to today which is something that is very rarely seen in these parts these days.

Meanwhile, the temperature as at 8:10am GMT (08:10 UTC) this morning was around 1°C here in Edinburgh.

Despite the cold start to today here in Edinburgh, it's now turning out to be a bit warmer than of late with a temperature of around 10°C as at 12 noon GMT (12:00 UTC).

There's a bit more in the way of cloud around now, but we're still getting some fairly decent sunny intervals at times.

It’s a beautiful sunny day here today with light winds and it feels very pleasant. Not especially mild but nonetheless it feels nice at 7.8°C currently.

Had to run my eldest into Liverpool at 6am this morning. It's extremely rare for me to see 6am, by this one was glorious: a low, wintry sun and sheen of frost everywhere.

By lunchtime the drizzle had moved in 🤮

---

Here in Edinburgh, it's now clouded over and we're back to those usual grey skies once again after the earlier sunshine.

However, it's still dry for now and it feels quite a lot warmer than of late with the temperature having reached around 11°C where I am.

Currently around 10°C here in Edinburgh as at 4:20pm GMT (16:20 UTC) this afternoon.
