11.4C. Bright with cover of thin high cloud.

Overnight rain has cleared away but there is still a lot of cloud around although there are also a few breaks in that cloud with the odd sunny interval coming through at times.

Last night was very mild and was by far, our warmest night of this year so far with an official minimum temperature of 11.5°C.

It was also only our first double figures minimum temperature of this year.

Since there are still a few hours to go until the official end of that observation day at 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning, the final figure for yesterday's official minimum temperature could still end up being lower than what I have quoted above but it would take quite a big drop in the temperature over that period to scupper those hopes of last night being our warmest night of the year so far, or even those hopes of our first double figures minimum being recorded and that is unlikely to happen.

Meanwhile, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 7:10 am BST (06:10 UTC) this morning was 12.4°C.

19.4°C and sunny in the garden. Although there is a bit of a breeze it still feels very pleasant indeed.

---

The first 21 of the year here - sunny, breezy, feels like a summer's day.

Currently 21.2, dew 14.8, which is the high so far. Last night just got into single figures, briefly, with a low of 9.7.

A similar day to yesterday here in Edinburgh.

It's fairly windy but not excessively so (by that, I mean that there's not been any wind gusts of 30 mph or higher at Edinburgh Gogarbank so far) and although there's still a lot of cloud around, there's also been some blue sky around and occasional sunny intervals.

Temperatures are similar to what we had yesterday, so the temperature at 1:30pm BST (12:30 UTC) this afternoon was around 16°C here in Edinburgh.

It really does seem as though we're heading into a completely different pattern as well because it's been a lot warmer than of late in the last couple of days, there's even been a bit more sunshine than we've been used to (although that wouldn't exactly be difficult) and there's not been anything like as much rain around either, even though we've still had some rain over the last couple of nights in particular.

That makes a complete change from the almost constant dull, cold and wet conditions which we were having to endure beforehand.

Milky sunshine but feels genuinely warm . 20c

Much the same here but a degree cooler at 19C. It's the fresh wind that takes the edge off things.
Waiting for the magic 21C as my Dad used to call this temp.

Looks like I spoke too soon a wee while ago as the rain has now returned as I write.

The temperature has also dropped slightly to around 14°C as well as at 3:30pm BST (14:30 UTC) this afternoon which means that today is not quite going to end up being as warm as yesterday.

Today started off on a bright note with some sunshine but it didn't take long for it then to cloud over with increasing amounts of showery rain then moving in.

It's also windy and a bit cooler than the last couple of days with a temperature of only around 14°C here in Edinburgh as at 1pm BST (12:00 UTC) this afternoon.

Here in Edinburgh, we have a real squall line moving through just now with very gusty winds and torrential rain. There are also some very bright echoes showing up on the latest rain radar maps as that happens.
 

---

There have still been some bits and pieces of showery rain for a while here in Edinburgh behind that squall line/cold front but there has now been a dramatic drop in the temperature to just 9.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 2:30 pm BST (13:30 UTC) this afternoon.

The Sun is now shining here in Edinburgh but a number of blustery showers are continuing to come through with winds gusting up t0 42.7 mph from the west at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

As at 6:10pm BST (17:10 UTC), the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank had dropped back to just 7.5°C.

Another summer's day here, mostly sunny (and dry, as usual) with very warm temperatures.

17.1, dew 9.3, after a high of 20.9 earlier. Last night's low was 11.2, and I had to have the windows open to keep things cool indoors.
