Partly cloudy and windy 

Temp 7.9c

Storm Georgina is giving us a fairly lively time just now and despite the fact we are not even in the yellow warning zone here, the winds were still gusting up to 34.5mph from the south at Edinburgh Gogarbank at 3am this morning.

In addition to that, there has already been 4.6 mm of rain during today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank (including 2.2 mm in the last hour alone) as at 3am this morning, along with 2.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which means that today is already yet another official rain day at both stations, and has been at Edinburgh Gogarbank since today's very first measurement at 1am. The rain radar map shows nicely that we are very close to the triple point of this system where the warm and cold fronts join up with the occluded front which is in the process of forming from them and of course, this is usually always where you get the heaviest of the precipitation (be that, rain or snow).

At the moment, we are just in the warm sector of this system and no more, but this has been enough to send the temperatures back upwards again so that at 3am this morning, the temperature had gone up to 8.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 9°C at Edinburgh Airport and 9.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh although it should cool down a bit once again once the cold front has moved through.

A very wild and windy morning, thanks to Storm Georgina.

So far as at 8am this morning, we have had 15.0 mm of rain during today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with 11.5 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, thus ensuring that today has overtaken yesterday as the wettest day of the month and year so far at both stations. It's not raining just now as I write, but there are still some very heavy showers around.

Temperatures during the night rose to an overnight maximum of 10.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 10°C at Edinburgh Airport and 10.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, thereby bringing us back into that nightmare winter scenario of double figures temperatures yet again and although it has cooled down by quite a bit since then, it is still mild.

With that said, the latest official data which I have just now is as follows:

Temperatures and dew points at Edinburgh Airport are measured only to the nearest 1°C instead of the nearest 0.1°C.

Pressure at Edinburgh Airport is measured to the nearest 1mb instead of the nearest 0.1mb.

All Data for Edinburgh Airport is taken from weatheronline.co.uk whereas all other data is taken from weathercast.co.uk.

Since the Met Office doesn't hold any climatological data for Edinburgh Airport, the 1981-2010 averages for Edinburgh Gogarbank are used for that station due to its very close proximity.

Wind increasing now here in Essex. Not up to the last storm standards yet. AWS showing gusts up to 24mph but it's very sheltered from our building. Pressure has only dropped about 1mb an hour, not expecting full force till midday here I think. Temp is 13c and sky is looking very grey to my West.

Mod to heavy rain here this morning, breezy,  turning colder, 8c.

Dull and overcast with occasional light rain or drizzle, also on the windy and mild side. However, the cold front is still some way off but that will arrive here to make for a horribly wet and windy afternoon. Urgh.

Just had a brief spell of heavy rain, windy but nothing out of the ordinary for a dank January morning.

Squall just came through here. Temperature dropped 3C in 10 minutes, and 2.4mm of rain fell in that time as well. It wasn't particularly windy, in fact if anything the wind dropped.

The temperature drop is nicely in evidence on my PWS: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=IARBORFI2

For once, the rain has actually stayed away from here since my last report on this thread, but it is still very windy here with mean wind speeds at Edinburgh Airport still getting up to 32.3mph at 12 noon, and with gusts up to 46.0mph at Edinburgh Gogarbank at the same time.

There is still a lot of cloud around, but it is a slightly brighter day today although that has led to just 6 minutes of sunshine being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as of 12 noon.

It is also a fairly mild day and at 12 noon, the temperature was 7.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 7°C at Edinburgh Airport and 8.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
