A fresher 11C morning, cloudy with much lighter winds than yesterday from a northerly direction.

Was forecast to get some sunshine and showers like what we used to get from a North Westerly. Reality vile thick grey overcast nothingness with that revolting unpleasant wind worse than ever. Makes the current dire temperature of 11.8C seem even colder.

A totally useless hideous excuse for a summer day. Disgusting serving no purpose whatsoever 

Overcast and damp, it tried to brighten up on a couple of occasions. A clammy 15.2 C & 83% H but the NE breeze is much lighter compared to yesterday. At least I won't feel guilty for doing a roast dinner today.

Bright again with fresh NE breeze. And as I thought it would do earlier the rain has done its division trick. One batch to the east and the other to the west with the clear split appearing in the Portland area moving up. Remarkable how often this occurs.

There is more to the south so still a chance of  a good garden soak but I wouldn't count on it.

Here in Edinburgh, today is ending on a much sunnier note although a total of just 2.9 hours of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 6pm BST (17:00 UTC) this evening and we haven't had anything like the high sunshine totals during this month as what Richard has had in Aberdeen (which is one of the few thing about the weather up there which he has actually been happy with just lately, which in itself is such rare event that it has to go down as quite a historic moment within the entire history of the TWO forum).

In fact, I would probably even go as far as saying that I am less happy with our sunshine totals here in Edinburgh so far this month than what Richard is about this month's sunshine stats up there because our sunshine totals are actually running a little bit below average at Edinburgh Gogarbank (we are almost a third of the way through this month, but we have only had just over 60% of 1991-2020 June average sunshine at Edinburgh Gogarbank during this month so far).

However, today has once again turned out to not as cool as I was expecting it to be and the temperature at 6pm BST (17:00 UTC) this evening was around 18°C which is actually no worse than the average for this time of the year in this part of the world.
