TYPICAL EDINBURGH WEATHER
It looks like we're having one of those 'four seasons' days. Not because we're eating pizza to the sound of Vivaldi, but that's what the Edinburgh'S weather can do sometimes. I've already experienced blue skies, black skies, being mildly warm in the sun, icy rain, unruffled calm and lean-into wind, gloves off, hood up, where's my sunglasses and why have my glasses got so wet? And it's not even 2pm.
I have questioned my choice of outerwear because I'm sweating underneath the layers, and wondering if I have enough on and is it all buttoned, zipped and pulled up as much as it can. I have checked the weather forecast on one app, then another, only to have the climatic schizophrenia confirmed. I have looked forward to getting out in the fresh air and sun, and wished I was back home in the warmth of a world governed by thermostat. I have potentially been confused.
Except I'm native to this city and I know what happens. Back in the seventies I found myself driving an ice cream van through snow on the first of May. Welcome to Edinburgh's weather, expect the unexpected.
