It was a warm night here too with an overnight low of 16.8°C.
On a different note we did have a very impressive 16.2 hours of sunshine here yesterday!

Sunday was a bit sunnier though and with that, we managed to clock up a total of 12.3 hours of sunshine at Edinburgh Gogarbank but that still wasn't enough to give us our sunniest day of the year or even our sunniest day of this month or this summer.
Although our sunshine totals during this summer up until now have been better than they were during the spring (that wouldn't exactly be difficult though given just how grim that was), the fact of the matter here is that even with our best spell of weather of this summer so far which has given us our warmest day of the year so far (although it can still get even hotter than that at this time of year), we still haven't been able to get a completely sunny day out of that here in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, it has now clouded over yet again after a sunny start to the day and with that, our chances of getting our sunniest day of the year from this particular spell of weather has now probably gone, given the latest forecasts.
That is such a shame because we're only less than a week past the summer solstice which means that if we were able to get a completely sunny day just now, that would probably be enough to give us a sunshine total for that day which would already be virtually guaranteed to give us our sunniest day of the year in the final statistics for this year due to the now shortening daylight length.
Sadly though, that has now become something which we are unlikely to see for now at least. This year's highest daily total at Edinburgh Gogarbank as I write is 13.9 hours of sunshine as recorded on the very first day of this month, but we should be capable of doing better than that and if that ends up being our highest total of this year in the final statistics, that will be very poor fare indeed given just much available daylight that we have at this time of year.😡
