Happy Summer Solstice.
This means that the slow and gradual descent towards next winter starts here and it's just a shame that we haven't really had much of a summer up until now which is in complete contrast to this this time last year when I was down in Hawick enjoying what ended up being last summer's only decent spell of weather.
In fact, yesterday was our second warmest day of this summer so far, and that was with a maximum temperature of only 19.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank which shows just how poor this summer has been so far as regards to the temperatures as we're now two thirds of the way through the month.
Nevertheless, those temperatures are at least where they should be at this time of year and given that it is the day of the summer solstice, it is now summer regardless of how you actually define that.
Meanwhile, this morning has started off on a rather boring and non-descript note here in Edinburgh. It's largely cloudy with just the odd break in that cloud and even the odd brighter interlude, but with nothing actually happening in terms of our weather.
Currently around 12°C here in Edinburgh.
