A very wet day tomorrow looks likely for this area.

2.7 mm  Today sofar.

14.9 mm To date.

Since it is still raining as well as I write, those above totals for today are unlikely to be today's final totals either.

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 10.8 mm, the total for this summer so far to 108.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 376.2 mm as at 7am this morning.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 15.6 mm, the total for this summer so far to 99.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 371.0 mm as at 7am this morning.

Some very welcome rain over the last few days has helped a little in cooling the arsonists' ardour! Total now at 17.6mm .. still not a lot!

18.9 mm To Date.

42.6mm.

21mm from thundery downpours today has taken us up to 25mm so far.

51.2mm to date,

A bit of a spike up now. Torrential showers yesterday brought 13mm of rain, bringing the total up to 23.6mm to the end of the 13th.

First of all, a total of 9.6 mm of rain fell during Sunday in the end at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with 14.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which as of today, still makes Sunday the wettest day of this month so far at both of those stations.

Secondly, a total of 3.6 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 4.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

In addition to that, a total of 2.4 mm of rain has fallen at Edinburgh Gogarbank during today so far as at 8pm this evening, along with 1.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 23.4 mm, the total for this summer so far to 121.4 mm and the total for this year so far to 388.8 mm as at 8pm this evening.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 33.4 mm, the total for this summer so far to 117.6 mm and the total for this year so far to 388.8 mm as at 8pm this evening.

For now, this month is still running slightly drier than average at Edinburgh Gogarbank, but is now running slightly wetter than average at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh with the outlook, still appearing to be rather unsettled over the next few days.

In addition to that, a total of 0.4 mm of rain has fallen at Edinburgh Gogarbank during today so far as at 7am this morning, along with 1.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 24.4 mm, the total for this summer so far to 122.4 mm and the total for this year so far to 389.8 mm as at 7am this morning.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 34.6 mm, the total for this summer so far to 118.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 390.0 mm as at 7am this morning.

Furthermore, just two more official rain days are now needed to occur at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh between now and the end of this month, in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, in terms of the number of official rain days (days where there has been a total of at least 1.0 mm at that particular station).

At the same time, five more official rain days are still needed to occur between now and the end of this month at Edinburgh Gogarbank, in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average at Edinburgh Gogarbank in terms of the number of official rain days.

24.3 mm To date  and still raining this morning.

However, this morning has been completely dry so far at both of those stations as at 8am this morning.

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 24.6 mm, the total for this summer so far to 122.6 mm and the total for this year so far to 390.0 mm as at 8am this morning.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 35.4 mm, the total for this summer so far to 119.6 mm and the total for this year so far to 390.8 mm as at 8am this morning.

The general outlook in the immediate future is fairly unsettled, but that doesn't necessarily mean that this month will be any wetter than average in the end, and the latest GFS output for the next 10 days shows it being drier than average in this part of the world.

I would imagine that this would be due to not too many showers reaching here (as we saw yesterday) and most frontal systems being fairly weak when they reach here.

51.2mm now.

25.8mm To Date. 

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 25.4 mm, the total for this summer so far to 123.4 mm and the total for this year so far to 390.8 mm as at 2pm this afternoon.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 36.6 mm, the total for this summer so far to 120.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 392.0 mm as at 2pm this afternoon.

This means that just one more official rain day is needed to occur at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh between now and the end of this month, in order for this month to then end up being wetter than average at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh in terms of the number of official rain days. Since tomorrow is likely to bring about the remnants of ex-tropical storm Ernesto, that fate could well be sealed over the course of this weekend.

In the end, a total of 0.8 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with 1.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

In addition to that, a total of 12.4 mm of rain has fallen during this morning so far as at 8am this morning, along with 15.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

This makes today, the wettest day of this month so far at both of those stations, and those might not necessarily be the final totals for today in the end.

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 37.8 mm, the total for this summer so far to 135.8 mm and the total for this year so far to 403.2 mm as at 8am this morning.

This means that four more official rain days need to occur between now and the end of this month, in order for this month to end up being wetter than average at Edinburgh Gogarbank in terms of the number of official rain days.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 52.0 mm, the total for this summer so far to 136.2 mm and the total for this year so far to 407.4 mm as at 8am this morning.

Since the number of official rain days at the botanic gardens during this month so far is more than the 1981-2010 August average, this month will now go down as being wetter than average at the botanic gardens in terms of the number of official rain days, regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month.

In addition to that, just another 8.3 mm of rain needs to fall at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh between now and the end of this month in order for this month to be wetter than average at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh in terms of the actual rainfall amount.

Since the outlook for the next few days in particular is continuing to look rather unsettled, there is quite a good chance that this might end up happening although this is unlikely to be enough to prevent this summer as a whole, from being drier than average in the end.

August average is 85mm here, making it one of the wettest months. Only November is usually higher at 100mm

Luckily the heavy July showers means no real drought issue anymore but a little more would be welcome.

Weather station fairly local to me has recorded 54mm (ish) for the month so far with rain on 8 days, albeit 2 of those days totals were negligible.

In the end, a total of 15.6 mm of rain fell during yesterday at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with 18.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

However, this morning has been completely dry so far at both of those stations as at 7am this morning.

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes this month's total so far to 41.0 mm, the total for this summer so far to 139.0 mm and the total for this year so far to 406.4 mm as at 7am this morning.

For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes this month's total so far to 54.8 mm, the total for this summer so far to 139.0 mm and the total for this year so far to 410.2 mm as at 7am this morning.

This means that just another 5.5 mm of rain or more now needs to fall at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh between now and the end of this month, in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.

This month is already going to go down as a wetter than average month at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh in terms of the number of the official rain days since there has already been more official rain days there during this month so far, than the 1981-2010 August average.
