At long last, our April drought here in Edinburgh is finally coming to an end with some heavy rain falling just now which is also being accompanied by winds gusting up to 47.2 mph from the WSW at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
However, this isn't likely to be around for long and as I write, the Sun is already coming back out, so any recorded totals for today are still probably going to be very small. I also still think that this could be the only measurable rainfall which we see for a while though.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 6pm this evening was around 8°C here in Edinburgh.
EDIT:
Everything which I have been saying elsewhere on this forum about the lack of rainfall during this month has just been proved correct once again because despite that short burst of rain which I have reported above appearing to be quite intense, it has produced no more than 0.4 mm of recorded rainfall at Edinburgh Gogarbank according to the latest data from SEPA, and nothing at all at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh where the April drought goes on as a result.
