Absolutely nothing of interest here at all. A horrific and deprssing day of autumnal drizzly rain, zero sun and shockingly bad light levels
Far colder than forecast but nowhere near as wet. 10.4mm with a peak rate of only 5.4mm/hr compared to 22-23 mm/hr from showers last week which in itself was lame for summer. Used to see rain rates reaching 50-100mm/hr or more.
Absolutely laughable that a weather warning was issued for this garbage, talking of intense rainfall and thunder with totals up to 100mm possible. Just shows how out of touch and far removed from reality the Met Office forecasters are. Seem to be living in a parallel universe where the nonsense predictions of hotter, drier summers with more intense downpours and heatwaves were actually realised
Don't forget though, that Aberdeen is actually one of the driest cities in Scotland on average alongside the likes of Edinburgh and Dundee.
From that context, I would therefore say that a daily total of 10.4 mm up there actually constitutes a rather wet day in that part of the world.
Here, we had an exceptionally wet day, especially in terms of today's rainfall totals at Edinburgh Gogarbank which was the highest for any single day since I first joined this forum yet the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which is also nearby saw very little in the way of rainfall in comparison, although it was still a wet day there as well.
That is the nature of just how localised these downpours can be and so, I still wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one other station in your area which you haven't noticed, but where today's rainfall totals were actually a lot higher than what you have reported.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
