It feels weird saying this with the drought thread having suddenly got quite busy, but it's now raining here in Edinburgh as I write after it had actually brightened up for a while during this afternoon.
At the moment, some technical issues have meant that I'm not able to report the usual data just now and with no data at all coming from Edinburgh Gogarbank just now, I am unable to give the latest sunshine totals although given the latest permacast hell which we're experiencing just now, I don't suppose that anything would have changed on that front anyway, since my last report.
With the limited data which I have available just now, I can only say that temperature is around 15ºC just now after a maximum temperature of around 17ºC.
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.
