That shower of rain has moved through and rather unexpectedly, it's brightened up a bit here in Edinburgh with even the odd sunny interval, although I shall wait and see how long that lasts for.

Strong Winds and heavy rain....



Some people walk in the rain.

Others just get wet.

Heavy rain has set in once again here in Edinburgh and it's also become rather dark.

Currently around 8°C here in Edinburgh as at 12:20pm (12:20 UTC) this afternoon, so today is slightly milder than yesterday though not by much.

The rain has cleared away again, leaving us with a few bits of blue sky behind that but still a lot of cloud.

The wind has also died down but the temperature here in Edinburgh has dropped back to just 6°C as at 1pm (13:00 UTC) this afternoon.

Indeed, but still to the west of me by a few miles.

Yesterdays were quite impressive considering I have usually been either side of them in the past few summers when they form.

Some rumbles and flashes overhead last night. Certainly not boring weather.

Bright here, and rather windy, but not really up to yellow warning standard.

Today may well be Good Friday but there's sadly nothing good about our weather just now as this morning has started off on yet another damp and miserable note as we come towards the end of what has been a wet and miserable month here overall.

As at 7am GMT (07:00 UTC) this morning, the temperature here in Edinburgh was around 5°C.

The rain here has mostly fizzled out now.

As that is happening, the clouds are starting to break up a bit with a few patches of blue sky and even the odd brighter interval starting to appear (yes, I have even saw the odd, very brief and isolated glimpse of the Sun as well).

Hopefully, it won't therefore be too much longer before we join in with the rest of the UK in terms of getting what would be very welcome and badly needed sunshine here and if that happens, it should hopefully warm up a bit as well as a result.

Finally at long, long, last we actually have a bright and sunny start to today (something which very rarely ever happens these days) with a temperature of around 9°C here in Edinburgh as at 8:10am GMT (08:10 UTC) this morning.

Another showery day but we've reached 11 C and there is plenty of blue sky. I've had an enjoyable morning in the garden but so wet, we've had 65 mm in the last 5 days! (The monthly total is at 220% with 2 days to go)

Very nice day. Probably the sunniest day all spring with wall to wall sunshine, and with the sun now packing a punch it's feeling very nice. Not the warmest though this spring but 15C is still nice enough for late March.

Showers have died away and it's been a mostly sunny afternoon. I've just about reached 13 C here which is my second warmest day. Feels good in the sun in the garden. Been out there all day ☀️

Apart from an earlier brief shower though, it's actually been a nice day and it makes a good change to actually get a break from all of that miserable weather.

Currently around 8°C here in Edinburgh as at 7:20pm GMT (19:20 UTC) here in Edinburgh.
