The skies have now cleared once again, but the wind has picked up by quite a lot to the point where it was gusting up to 32.3mph from the NNW at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at midnight.

As the wind veered sharply, the temperatures dropped a little bit, but it is the dew points which took a sudden dramatic drop at that point in time, to below freezing at all three of my local stations.

In the end, a total of 1.4 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 2.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh as a result of that initial cold front which moved through during the early hours of yesterday morning.

Meanwhile, the temperature at midnight was 2.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 3°C at Edinburgh Airport and 3.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Sprinkling of snow here this morning

Well, this is just bloody typical of our weather (or rather, the lack of any weather) in this part of the world during this complete non-event which is known as this "winter".

Here in the most boring part of the UK during our most boring winter on record, the Sun is shining and the skies are clear. Yet even with those clear skies and a northerly wind, we still CANNOT get a F@&KING frost as once again, too much wind meant that the temperature just refused to drop during the early hours of this morning once that occluded front had moved through and so, our frost-free hell just goes on with no end to that in sight just now (so much then, for that really cold weather which we were supposed to be getting from the north).

This just shows that this so-called "winter" continues to be one massive borefest in this part of the world where it just seems to be asking too much for anything which is even remotely interesting in terms of our weather, to actually happen even when there is a lot of excitement elsewhere (Richard from Aberdeen occasionally claims that title of the most boring part of the UK in terms of the weather for his area, but even he has got to witness a bit of snow already during this latest northerly outbreak as reported by doctormog (who is after all, in the same city as Richard) on this forum) and so this surely has to prove once and for that I live in the most boring part of the UK here in Edinburgh, in terms of our weather.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 8am this morning was 0.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 1°C at Edinburgh Airport and 0.6°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

A skiff of snow this morning here. Could almost count the individual flakes. As usual for here in a Northerly the showers peter out in the hills to our North.

Clear & sunny occasional fluffy thin cloud passing over but very few & far between, 2.6c now (was 3.6c an hour ago!) Light breeze N, pressure 1012.6 mb RH 81% DP -0.3c 

---

After a very fleeting wintry mix lasting all of 45 secs earlier on this morning, it is now fine and sunny. Much better.

But rather on the nippy side with the moderate north wind making the current 4.4 c & 76% h feel rather bracing but is drying everything up in double quick time after further showers fell in the small hours (3 mm total in the past 20 hours).

---

Clear and sunny.

Temp 3.4C

Overnight low -0.1C

Pressure 1013mb

Dry. Sunny. 6 Clouds on the Horizon to the North.

A completely sunny morning means that a total of 2.6 hours of sunshine has already been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was 0.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 1°C at Edinburgh Airport and 0.2°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 12 noon was 3.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 4°C at Edinburgh Airport and 3.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Given that we have entered what is supposed to be a "cold" spell of weather, this is turning out to be rather disappointing indeed and a complete non-event in this part of the world, as it is isn't even all that cold for this time of the year just now.

Heavy shower of snow grains gave a light covering around 9.30 in North Northumberland, a bit stil around at midday. Min temp +0.1c , just missed out on fost. Now sunny with wind dropping and temp around 3.5c.

Snowing heavily here in Copenhagen now - always a good sign

An almost completely sunny afternoon means that in the end, a total of 5.6 hours of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank. This makes today not only the sunniest day of both this month and this year so far, but also the sunniest day of this winter so far. This also means that this month is now back to running a bit sunnier than average overall once again.

Today's maximum temperature was 4.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 5°C at Edinburgh Airport and 5.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Now that the Sun has gone down though, the temperature is already falling away and so, the temperature at 4pm this afternoon was 2.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 1°C at Edinburgh Airport and 2.7°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

1.8°C with light snow showers currently.
