Don't know what happened but I thought it was supposed to cool down today with a northerly drift. Maxed not long ago at 29.4C Is that the new cool because it was 5C down on yesterday!

Meanwhile, in a place far up north from the new desert, 18 C has been reached and all is cool, fresh, breezy and green 😁

Rain lasted all of 10 minutes, but it feels noticeably cooler. 24.5, down from 28.7C peak.

Today's maximum temperatures in Edinburgh were 18.54°C at Gogarbank, around 18°C at the airport, 19.16°C at the botanic gardens and 18.0°C at Swanston, so no 20+°C maximum in Edinburgh today.

Here in this relative desert which is the Borders though, today's maximum temperature at Charterhall (not a part of that relative desert thanks to recent rainfall) was 20.01°C thus ensuring that there continues to be at least one 20+°C somewhere in these reports. This is exactly what I said would happen in my post on this thread from this morning, despite the forecasts telling us otherwise.

It has been another windy day though with winds at Gogarbank gusting up to around 39 mph from the west.

Currently around 14°C here in Hawick with a much cooler feel than of late despite the continued sunshine.


The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.

Likewise here, we had a 5 or 10 min shower naturally just before you did, which for a couple of mins was vaguely decent rain, but nothing on the gauge. It's actually just started a few drops again but dry within seconds this time as opposed to 10 mins or so last time.

Managed to get to 27c here earlier, 21.8c now so time to take the crazy cocker out for a walk.
