Was the max not over 15°C (and 17°C at the airport)?
Currently bright and mostly cloudy with light winds and 13.9°C here.
The long daylight hours are great although it does sometimes feel like going to bed in the middle of the day.
Well spotted.
I use a Google Docs spreadsheet for these reports with a macro which calculates the day's minimum and maximum temperature based on the raw SYNOP data for that station from the ogimet website.
On closer observation, I discovered that the maximum temperature which I gave for Edinburgh Gogarbank was technically correct, but was recorded in the 09z SYNOP data.
These actual maximum temperatures usually come through with the 18z SYNOP data but for some reason, that hasn't come through today. This means that we don't know what today's actual maximum at Edinburgh Gogarbank was for today.
According to the hourly data though, the highest hourly reading for Edinburgh Gogarbank was only 15.1°C and that was at around lunchtime, although the temperature at Edinburgh Airport did briefly reach 17°C at that time.
At the end of the day though, none of this does anything to change my overall impression for today as even those corrected temperatures are still not even the least bit warm for this time of the year.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
