Today's maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was just 9.6°C which makes today our coldest day of this autumn so far with our first single figures maximum of the season, something which I wasn't expecting to see just now (the Met Office certainly weren't forecasting that for today).

In addition to that, it's been another completely sunless day at Edinburgh Gogarbank without even as much as a hint of any brightness at any point in the day.

Currently around 8°C here in Edinburgh.

Last night was yet another night in which the temperatures refused to drop and so, the overnight minimum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 7.1°C.

Today has once again started off on a dull and overcast note with our mid-autumn permacast hell now entering into its third day but unlike in the last two mornings, there is a very narrow slither of clear sky in the very far distance to my north.

The clouds are breaking up a bit here now with the Sun now gradually getting through for only the first time this week.

Today is also slightly milder than yesterday with a temperature of around 10°C here in Edinburgh

Normal service for this year has now been resumed here in Edinburgh with the return of blue skies and plenty of sunshine.

In addition to that, today is also warmer than yesterday here in Edinburgh with a temperature of around 12°C and therefore, a return to double figures temperatures once again.

Today's maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank is confirmed as 13.6°C, but with only 1.2 hours of sunshine.

That isn't all that much and today seemed to be sunnier than what figures would suggest but that was only our first actual recorded sunshine of what has been a very dull week so far in a month is still running quite a bit duller than average just now (that is in complete contrast of course, to what this year has been like overall).

As I write, it is now clouded over once again which means that the temperatures will no doubt be refusing to drop once again, so the temperature here in Edinburgh is currently around 10°C.

Light rain here with a NE'ly breeze - and completely overcast, as it has been for the past few days. It never fails to grate just how easily we get drizzle/light rain in a NE'ly when it's too warm for snow, but the second it gets cold enough for snow it's just clear blue skies with the odd puffy cumulus!

0.6mm of rain today so far.

11.4, dew 10.6; yesterday's high was 15.9 and the overnight low was 11.2.

Another dull and overcast start to another day here in Edinburgh but as was the case yesterday as well, there is a very narrow sliver of clear sky in the very far distance to my north and NE.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 8.0°C.

Third day of sunny breaks and occasional drizzle/rain showers under a mod NE breeze. 13.9 C & mid-90% H. Rainfall amounts still scant at 3 mm since Monday but seems to be permanently damp.

Imagine if we have this set up in late January/early February. Probably still end up with cold rain. 🤣

A great afternoon with blue sky and unbroken sunshine after the sliver of clear sky at dawn. 

16.3C is ok but this area really needs the forecast rain. Sundays heavy rain is still only at 70% say the BBC. It was less yesterday but I'm hoping it will reach the dizzying highs of Devonians 90% probability for aquifer recharging.  This autumns rainfall so far has been meh here.

A 1975's leading into 1976 winter rainfall and a 1976 summer fills me with dread.

Here in Edinburgh, the Sun eventually broke through but only for a few hours this afternoon and it has now already clouded over once again.

As a result, a total of only exactly an hour of sunshine was recorded for the whole of today at Edinburgh Gogarbank where today's maximum temperature was 11.2°C which means that today was slightly cooler than yesterday.

Currently around 9°C here in Edinburgh

The tourists are spending their money in the seaside resorts of Baiae, Herculaneum and Pompeii. Only one man is worried.

or perhaps this? A live performance in an amphitheatre there too.

Otherwise it's 12.1C under cloudy skies with a a light easterly set of airs.

Another dull and overcast start to another day but the cloud appears to have a more broken look than of late and you can almost see little bits of blue sky at quite a number of edges. In addition to that, there is also the usual very narrow sliver of clear sky to my NE in the very far distance.

The minimum temperature according to the 6z raw BUFR/SYNOP data at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 8.4°C but that is only the 12 hour minimum from 18z on the previous day and the official minimum temperature for yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank was actually 8.3°C as shown by yesterday evening's 21z raw BUFR/SYNOP data, and as recorded yesterday morning. That is showing us yet again, just how the temperatures at night just keep on refusing to drop.

By looking at this morning's cloud cover, I was more optimistic about the Sun breaking through today than I was even on the last two days. However, that didn't end up happening. Throughout today, there hasn't even been the slightest hint of any brightness and so, today is officially yet another completely sunless day at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

Until the beginning of this month, this year was very much a year in which the Sun just wouldn't stop shining but with the exception of a relatively sunny blip last weekend, this month is now making up for that in quite a big way. We're now more than halfway through this month, we have only just had over a third of our 1991-2020 October sunshine at Edinburgh Gogarbank during this month so far and the days are still rapidly shortening, resulting in there being less available sunshine per day as the month goes on.

As a result, it is now looking likely that our long run of sunnier than average months which we've seen throughout most of this year is about to come to an end this month unless we start to see a lot more sunshine from now on than what we've been seeing during this month so far with that starting to happen very quickly, otherwise time is very quickly going to run out for that.

Meanwhile, today's temperatures were very similar to yesterdays and as I write, the temperature here in Edinburgh is currently around 11°C.
