Cold and frosty with a slight air frost having been recorded at all three local stations. The minimum temperature at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh is -1.2°C with a minimum temperature of -0.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank (the temperature is still falling at those two stations as I write) and at Edinburgh Airport, the temperature got down to -2°C.
That in turn though, has brought us into a nice and sunny morning although it isn't expected to remain like that for the rest of the day as the next Atlantic weather system is expected to move in later on. These seasonal conditions which we have just now, are really something to savour just now because if the latest forecasts are correct, it might be a while before we see these conditions again (although they may briefly return next weekend) and because of that, I don't think that tomorrow morning is going to be as cold and frosty.
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.
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.
