Swanston in south Edinburgh has reached 25.7 C at Noon. By far our warmest day of the year so far. The last time we got this high was 26.2 C on 8th September 2023.

Back in July 2022, Swanston recorded 30.7 C and 30.5 C on the 18th and 19th July

I believe Edinburgh recorded 31 C back in 1975 too although I stand to be corrected

It's feeling warm here in the sunshine at 26.5⁰C just now.

Too much cloud is that same enemy which in winter, all too often prevents us from getting a frost at night and at this time of the year on a summer's day, this can be what ends up scuppering our chances of getting any daytime temperature records.

Given that this has been such a sunny year up until now, this had to happen on a day where there is the chance of us getting our hottest day on record which is just like the thing.😡

Breezy and bright with a covering of thin high cloud, which will keep the heat in. 29.2c in the garden right now.

27c here and sky mostly clear after earlier dappled clouds desolved. 

Still a lot of high cloud around and quite breezy but feeling very warm. Interesting to see Bude near the top of the temperature charts today with 29C - not often that warm right on the Atlantic coast!

It's now 30.1c in the shady part of the garden, still overcast with high cloud but a bit thicker than an hour ago, very white rather than pale, milky, blue.

Whether or not we actually get our all time June record is another matter. In order to beat that, the temperature here in Edinburgh needs to rise above 27.8°C (according to Jerry from the south of Edinburgh in a post which he put out on the MO thread on 16 June 2025) with that record going all the way back to 1982.

The temperatures will still need to rise a bit further in order for that to even have a chance of actually happen but if the Sun can now stay out for the rest of today, that is still perfectly doable.

28C here under partly clouded skies (medium to high cloud). Feels warm but not oppressive.

It's getting close John, we've reached 26.3 C at Swanston by 1400. Not sure the Met Office recognise Swanston? It'll have to come from Gogarbank or the Botanics.

In any case, I'm enjoying a hot and humid day in Edinburgh

Looks like Aberdeen, Aboyne and Aviemore have reached 27 C

Breezy 28C 

Not to humid with a dp of 16C

Looking at the cloud types i wouldn't be surprised if we saw a shower/ storm in the next 12 hrs or so. 

Looks like Newcastle Airport has hit 30 C

We are stuck between 25-26 C as considerable cloud has developed. I can see a Cumulonimbus way to my SE towards the Lammermuir hills.

... no doubt those conditions in Aberdeen will still not be good enough for Richard of course, as he will no doubt still find something to moan about even with that.😂😁

Seriously though, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank is now up to 25.2°C which now gives us our first 25+°C maximum of this year. That is something which didn't happen at all at any point in time last year, so it's now hotter here today than at any point in time last year which just goes to show how poor last summer was in that regard compared to other recent years which now already includes this year.

If we are going to see a new June record today, that is most likely to happen at Gogarbank as the temperature at the botanics is slightly pegged back to 22.5°C by a slight breeze from the NNE.

Nevertheless, the temperature at the airport is currently around 26°C which means that Gogarbank isn't even the hottest of my three local stations today.

EDIT

As I've posted all of that, the clouds have come back and we need them to go away and stay away if we're to have any chance of getting that June record.😡

27.6 C now been reached at Swanston which is on the south side of the city and slightly further away from the sea

Oh look at that 😅 Heavy shower moving NE towards the SW if the IOW.

That's weird because according to weatherobs.com, the temperature at Swanston (which I assume is that station which is coded "EW4719" unless I'm wrong with that) is only showing up as being no higher than 26.1°C with that data coming through every 5 minutes on that particular site.

That same site is now showing the temperature there dropping back to 25.0°C, probably due to that cloud cover which has returned and which now looks set to complete scupper those record chances.😡

I'm looking at the station's web page which has a live reading (28.1 C) and a highest reading at 28.8 C

That may be an automatic sensor. I believe the site also has a standard Stevenson's Screen

Seen that, though moving in wrong direction for me. Seems to be losing its mojo according to Brians radar.

I wonder if it will perk up over the land?

30.1C. Too warm now for concentrated office work but great to sit under an umbrella outside.

It might pick up more once it's passed the higher ground of the southern IOW and especially as it hits the solent. 

I wonder just how much of the precipitation us reaching the ground? 

Air con makes it easier.

I've just looked at your link which confirms your data to be correct but on that home page, there is also a CWOP link near to the bottom of that page and it is from there that I found the identifier of EW4719. From that, I then assumed that the station which shows up on weatherobs.com with that identifier (in order to see that, you have set the option in weatherobs.com to allow amateur stations to be seen) was also the same station, especially since it is appearing in exactly the same location on the map. Because of that, I'm now sure why that data at weatherobs.com doesn't appear to be consistent with the data on the Swanston homepage, or on other linked sites such as the Met Office WOW site.

Regardless of whether that record is beaten or not though, today is already probably our hottest June day since 1982 which is very impressive indeed.

It sure does! I always find it mildly amusing that if you're in an office and someone sets the a/c to 25, everyone'll complain it's too hot. Yet when it's 25C outside plenty of people love it - not me, though.

Thankfully here, and unlike yesterday, the wind has arrived from the sea - yesterday was forecast to have ENE'lies but they didn't arrive. Today they have, and it's 23.6 outside with a dewpoint of 17.8. The high so far is 24.9. 

Whilst this is all very interesting from a weather observer's perspective though, this is not something which I take any actual joy in reporting given the very dangerous path which we are now treading as regards to climate change, and the frequent high temperature records such as this one which keep on arising from that.
