Same here John, a sunnier end to the day in the capital. However I'm keeping my eye on a line of potent thundery showers in SW Scotland moving NE 🤔

We actually reached 19 C today 🙂

---

According to the latest radar map, those thundery showers are a long way away from where I am here in Hawick and it's actually turned into quite a nice evening now.

However I can see a line of very bright echoes extending from Dumfries and Galloway to my west, all the way up towards Edinburgh.

---

Sky is in turmoil here with clouds scudding in all directions as the west horizon is inky black 😲

---

Torrential downpour now!

---

It's now clouded over here as that rain band approaches but the echoes on the radar map are becoming a bit less intense.

Currently around 15°C here in Hawick with a cooler and fresher feel compared to this time last night.

---

That was some downpour! The cold front is certainly springing into life over Scotland and NW England

---

It's now raining here in Hawick.

---

That downpour resulted in a total of 9 mm of rain at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 8 mm at the botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. The highest hourly rates with that were 7 mm/hr at the botanic Gardens and 6 mm/hr at Gogarbank.

Meanwhile here in Hawick, the rain has now cleared away and although that rain was quite heavy here, it wasn't anything like as intense as it was up in Edinburgh.

Currently around 13°C.

---

14.3C. Calm, clear and sunny.

---

A fresher, clearer morning with a moderate SW breeze. Minimum down to 10 C but already 13 C. The main thing though is, it's sunny! 🌞

---

Clear and sunny with the odd puff of wind from the WSW.
15.6, dew 14.5, after a low of 14.1. Yesterday's high was 21.6.

---

14.0C, calm, sunny

---

Fresher today with a breeze but much sunnier 16.2c currently. 

---

Sat outside in the evening sunshine, 16.9c feels fresh but a nice break from the warm house which is 23-24c.  Max today was a pleasant 20.1c with plenty of sunshine but a cool breeze. 

---

13.3C patchy light cloud

---

14C. A sunny start with light variable winds.

---

Yesterday brought us some decent sunshine at times but with the odd heavy shower later on with a maximum temperature of only around 17°C.

However, normal service for this summer has been resumed once again as we're back to dull and overcast conditions this morning with even some light rain earlier on.

Currently around 13°C here in the town of Hawick in the Scottish Borders.

---

14.2c , some brightness but rather cloudy.  Likely to be poorest day for a while here , thankfully much improved tomorrow. 

---

No measurable rain materialized again today, despite the forecast. 
Not the best day, 18.9c max later in the day with more sunshine. 

---

If today was a guide for this coming week then it's going to be hot, the forecast was 21c and we got to 23.8c.
Will be interesting to see how we go against the forecast 25c tomorrow, expecting 27c as a guide to hit 30c next week.

---

In Wharfedale walking today, cloudy skies (all I ever see this year), a few showers and fairly cool. 17 C in the valleys but only about 14 C at 400m 🥶
Sunny spells this evening but chilly

---

Cool start here too.
11.6c and sunny after a low of 11.0c.

... closing ...
