Looking at the high temperatures in Edinburgh today and yesterday and
the N/NE wind -I wonder if Fohn winds could be responsible for the heating?

Hi Steven
Yesterday there was very little by way of wind, so fohn assisted
temperatures can be ruled out.
Today the breeze is generally from the west, so any fohn effect would show
up in the east of Scotland.
Generally its the middle of the country thats been experiencing the highest
temperatures (although there's no metars to report this on xc weather)
Today it was 80f (26.7ºC) here at midday for example.
You may find the map near the bottom of this page more useful than xcweather
for current temperatures in central & Southern Scotland...

This wind is measured at what height?

I have noticed that we very rarely have a breeze that will do much more
than waft the leaves around where I live, yet I am certain there must be
some above the tree tops.

When I lived on the coast the wind was very much in evidence. (I was
close enough to the sea there, that I could tell the time from the sound
of the waves on the berm.) Yet a mile inland -in the town of Abergele
there was hardly any wind (in comparison.)

I dare say it was a lot windier than here but I have no real memory.

By the bye, is the Helm wind related to this?

Someone save me looking, there's a dear.
