Currently around 9°C here in Edinburgh

Expect every post for each day in the lifetime of this particular to now just be a copy and paste of this one, since that is what it is generally always like here given that we only very rarely actually experience any interesting weather which is any different from that.

Calm and bright at 10.2 °C. 

11.2c

EDIT 0800 - cloud now breaking up

I'd therefore hate to imagine how warm it would be if the Sun had come out today, but that is forecast to happen in the coming days when we should finally get to see our first 20+ºC maximum of the year at Gogarbank.

21.9, dew 14.8, the high being 24.2 - second warmest day of the year so far, behind (amazingly) the 9th April, which reached 24.4. 

The next few days won't be much fun... it's already 27C upstairs and that's with the windows open all afternoon!

However, it wasn't quite as warm as that at Edinburgh Gogarbank where the temperature only reached 19.65°C with a total of 5.0 hours of sunshine.  That was warmer than yesterday and was enough to give us our warmest day of this month so far, but that wasn't quite enough to give us our warmest day of the year so far at that particular station, where the wait for that elusive first 20+°C maximum of the year will now go on for at least another day.

As I write, it has clouded over a bit once again but it is still warm with a temperature of around 17°C here in Edinburgh.

Also of note are some beautiful mackerel clouds being lit up by the setting sun. Indicative of something unsettling on the horizon 🧐⚡

Roger must have seen the end of a decaying cold front which was being (almost) killed off by the high pressure

Some sunny spells due later and maybe 21 C here this afternoon
