Daytime max of 0c now down to -2c

Blue sky all day but no sunshine in this neighbourhood, the sun doesn't rise over Blackford Hill now

In addition to my thanks for starting this thread, I would also like to thank you for starting December's precipitation thread while you were at it. That is one less task for me to do tomorrow on here and since this is one of the four times in any year in which I also look back on an entire season's stats in addition to just a month's stats, that is very important indeed.

You at least had an air frost and there was also an official air frost at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (with a minimum temperature of -0.29°C) but there was no official air frost at either Edinburgh Airport (minimum temperature of 0°C) or Edinburgh Gogarbank where the minimum temperature was  +0.6°C.

However, a total of 4.5 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank which was actually quite a decent amount given that we're now less than a month away from the winter solstice with it being dark for most of the time now as a result.

The temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank reached 4.5°C during the daylight hours. That was too warm for today to go down as our coldest day of the autumn and in any case, the final stats for today will show that this won't actually matter in any way.

It's since clouded over here in Edinburgh and it's now raining as I write.

With that, it's also warmed up a bit again to around 4°C after getting down to around 1°C for a brief period of time. According to the forecasts, it's expected to warm up further during the night to around 8°C and since the official observation day starts and ends at 09:00 UTC, today's official maximum temperature will be determined by whatever it warms up to tonight, and not in any way by today's highest daytime temperature.

Of course, tomorrow is also the first day of what is supposed to be the meteorological winter and it's just like the thing that it's warming up just in time for that which is just typical of our weather here in the UK.🥵

A weather warning for here but it will be for rain that's yet to develop or come in from the SW if that's the case? 

Have put my brand new tree up as I am trying to feel more festive this year. 

Back to about the weather, dull and damp with that tiresome in-your-face southerly wind making the current 9.4 C feel quite cold. A comedown on yesterday's fine sunny conditions.

After a mild start to the night, the temperatures dropped a bit after the rain had cleared but only to a minimum of 5.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank which isn't even enough to bring us a ground frost, and so our frost-free (and snow-free) horror show goes on.🥵

Currently around 5°C here in Edinburgh and not even the least bit cold for this time of the year.🥵

A lovely day here after yesterday's deluge! 19.8mm at Swanston in the 24hrs to 0900

8 C at noon

7.1c

1004.9mb rising

11.0mm

Snow is moving in from the South along with slightly milder temps. Will stay as snow here and up to -6c but rain further south .  Amber weather warning for the morning which will be fun. 

Edit. An attractive frost on car roof and glass as the temp has fallen to near freezing at 2C.
