White Rabbits!! White Rabbits!!

Yesterday was a gloriously sunny day here here in Edinburgh with a total of 12.0 hours of sunshine which means that yesterday will go down in the final statistics as August's second sunniest day in this part of the world and this on its own confirms that August has al long, long last ended up being only first sunnier than average month since away back in January, thus ensuring that what was a rather disappointing summer here overall at least ended up on a decent note.

In the night before last, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank dropped to just 5.1°C and that gave us what has now turned out to be August's coldest night.

During yesterday, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank reached a maximum of 20.1°C and although the temperature then once again dropped down into single figures, last night wasn't as cold as the night before that with the temperature only dropping to 9.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

Today is now the start of a brand new month and the first day of meteorological autumn. On that note, I can report that this autumn has started off with a lot more cloud than what there was yesterday, although there are also a few breaks in that cloud with the odd sunny interval at times.

Currently around 13°C here in Edinburgh.

18.2C. Cloudy with a light NE wind. 
The radar shows a significant batch of what might be heavy rain not far away.

Looks like the rain/thunderstorms are a bit further west than modelled. Bright morning here but with plenty of high cloud.

As for forecast thundery activity, a damp squib and that is generous. The long wait for a French import continues.

We had a torrential downpour at about 09.45hrs. Impressive - but no thunder heard, sadly. I live in hope. I'd left the water butt uncovered to catch as much as possible. Half full now. Glad I mowed the lawn yesterday! 😀

The temperature is a warm humid feeling 22.5C and it is sunny even though the radar suggests otherwise. 
The current precipitation has fizzled out.
I wonder if Stonecroze's thundery stuff will make it across the Channel without dismantling the thunderheads.
Perhaps today will be the day?

This new gimmick on the metoffice tha shows the maximum possible range in temperature isn't very good.

27C now but maximum possible was 26C and a forecasted high of 24C 😂

Dew point 20.6C

Radar looked somewhat alarming as you don't know if things are developing or declining, in the event it has largely passed over quite swiftly through the last hour with about 2mm 15.2C and near calm now.

Sultry sums it up here, even though temperatures aren't much greater than average. It's all thanks to the steamy dewpoint, of course... summer lingers into September!
Currently sunny, just a few scattered clouds to the north, 23.1, dew 19.3. The high so far is 23.2 and last night's low was a sweltering 18.4.

We may be in the first day of September as well as meteorological Autumn but It is feeling like we've gone back to July with a hideously swampy 28 C & low 70% H under full sunshine here at Folkestone.

The winds have shifted E,SE and really begun to pick up. Temperature has dropped down to around 25.5C and the clouds have thickened.
Storm brewing? Nothing as of yet on the radar.

First day of holiday on the South Coast near Christchurch and echoing the above comments about how much warmer it got than any forecast. Car was reading 27C and the air feels like southern France or Spain. A total contrast to summer for us at home in Aberdeenshire!

It's still dry here in Edinburgh but very gloomy and overcast.

It's also rather cool with  a temperature of only around 15°C here but it's autumn now, so I'm no longer bothered about the temperatures not rising here.

I'd be happy with a 14.9 dewpoint, let alone 14.9 as an air temperature!

It's presently sunny (of course), 22.7, dew 19.3. The high here, thanks to the wind from the sea, was "only" 23.7.
