Cloudy, dry

Here in Edinburgh, the wind is no longer coming in from off the North Sea, but today has still got off to a rather dull start and so for now at least, our June permacast hell goes on.

However, today is slightly warmer than of late though with a rather muggy feel to things.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 11.1°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank and so, last night was our warmest night of this summer so far.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning was around 14°C here in Edinburgh.

After a fine morning with plenty of sunshine, it has clouded over now but still with some brightness as well as staying dry. Temps still rather below par at 17.8 C & 79% H with an onshore SW breeze adding to the freshness, did manage a peak of 19.8 C over an hour ago though.

Although to be fair, today so far has turned out drier, brighter and warmer than I forecast anyway.

Here in Edinburgh, there is still a lot of cloud around but there is also a lot more in the way of brightness with occasional sunny intervals.

The wind has picked up a bit once again but is now coming from a completely different direction from previous days and has a much warmer feel to it as a result.

Meanwhile, the temperatures are much more in line with where they should be at this time of the year, but still a little bit on the cool side at around 17°C as at 2pm BST (13:00 UTC) this afternoon.

Although there was some brightness around for most of the time during today, it was particularly cloudy once again in the afternoon and evening so in the end, a total of just 42 minutes of sunshine was recorded for the whole of today at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

That would be seen as being really abysmal at any time of the year even in the darkest part of the winter, so the fact that we are now less than 2 weeks away from the summer solstice just makes that even worse still.

However, today's maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 18.7°C so today was the first day for a while when the temperature actually wasn't below average for once although the wait for our first temperature of this year of 20°C or above goes on.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 10pm BST tonight (21:00 UTC) was around 15°C which is still higher than most of the maximum temperatures which we have witnessed in recent days.
