In the end, a total of 16.0 mm of rain fell at Edinburgh Gogarbank during yesterday along with 14.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which made yesterday the second wettest day of this autumn so far at both of those stations.
In addition to that though, a total of 1.8 mm of rain has fallen during today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 6am this morning along with 1.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes the total for this month so far to 67.8 mm, the total for this autumn so far to 67.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 625.2 mm as at 6am this morning.
This means that more rain has now fallen during this month at Edinburgh Gogarbank than the 1981-2010 September average for that station which means that this month will now go down as being wetter than average there overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts, regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month.
This also means that at least 2 more official rain days need to occur at Edinburgh Gogarbank between now and the end of this month, in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average overall in terms of the number of official rain days at that particular station.
For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes the total for this month so far to 67.8 mm, the total for this autumn so far to 67.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 604.8 mm as at 6am this morning.
This means that more rain has now fallen during this month at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh than the 1981-2010 September average for that station which means that this month will now go down as being wetter than average there overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts, regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month.

It is worth noting as well that even though we are still only just under three quarters of the way through 2019, there has already been more rain at both of those stations during this year than what there was during the whole of 2018. Furthermore, this has happened despite the fact that we had a very dry winter which resulted in both January and February being exceptionally dry.
However, we have only had one drier than average month here since then with that coming in April and now, our increasingly long wait for that increasingly elusive first drier than average month since then goes on.
