It's been a few days since I last reported anything here and the reason for that is because the weather has been so bland and boring here there hasn't even been anything which has been worth reporting. After all, it does get a bit repetitive and boring after all if I am only reporting that same old theme of constant grey skies, virtually no rainfall and very little sunshine all the time and that is exactly what the last couple of days has been like here.
The reason why I am writing this just now is because we finally at long last, have something going on with our weather as I can report that it has been raining here in Edinburgh for the last hour or so.
Even at that though, we're still not getting any sort of rainfall totals with that which are all that exciting and a total of just 0.6 mm of rain has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with the rather measly total of just at least 0.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
In addition to that, the sunshine totals have been very disappointing after that rather sunny first day of this month. The really abysmal total of just 24 minutes of sunshine was recorded for the whole of yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank and so far today as at Edinburgh Gogarbank just a further 24 minutes of sunshine has been recorded all together.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 2pm this afternoon was around 17°C which is actually warmer than what it was during yesterday here in Edinburgh.
