In the end, a total of 14.0 mm of rain fell during yesterday Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 17.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. That makes yesterday the wettest day of this month with just today left, and probably the second wettest day of this year so far at both of those stations.
To put that into context and just to show what a difference a year makes, I have just been looking back at my stats for this same month during last year which showed that a total of just 15.4 mm of rain fell at Edinburgh Gogarbank during the whole of May 2018 along with 16.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
This means that we had more rain during yesterday alone at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh than what we had during the whole of this same month during last year with yesterday's total at Edinburgh Gogarbank falling just short of the total for the whole of last May at that particular station.
In addition to that that, a total of 0.4 mm of rain has fallen during today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 7am this morning, along with 0.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes the total for this month so far to 77.4 mm, the total for this spring so far to 196.4 mm and the total for this year so far to 227.2 mm as at 7am this morning.
For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, that takes the total for this month so far to 70.6 mm, the total for this spring so far to 181.2 mm and the total for this year so far to 212.0 mm as at 7am this morning.
This month was always going to be wetter than average and indeed, that has turned out to be the case. Until yesterday though, I had looked as though this month wouldn't be all that much wetter than average with this spring's wettest month looking almost certain to be March, rather than this month.
However, the events of the last day or so have meant that this month has actually ended up being far more substantially wetter than average than what it had looked as though it would be just a day or so ago.
Furthermore, more rain is forecast for later on today and with that, the possibly of this month being the wettest month of this spring and of this year so far, can't now be completely ruled out even that was looking very unlikely to be the case just a day or so ago.
