The latest rainfall data for Edinburgh Gogarbank (shown as station 1 below) and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (shown below as station 2) is as follows:
24 Hour Rainfall Total As At 09:00 UTC (10am BST) this morning: 24.8 mm at Station 1, 53.2 mm at Station 2
No, that is not a typo. That is the actual amount of rain which has fallen here during the last 24 hour hours, mainly as a result of yesterday's thunderstorms which resulted in 41.0 mm of rain being recorded in the space of just a single hour at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and that is far more than anything which I have reported here on TWO since I first joined this forum back in 2016.
In addition to that, even Edinburgh Gogarbank had its wettest day of this summer so far during the last 24 hours by quite a considerable amount, but the big difference between the totals which I am reporting for these two stations shows how localised these events tend to be.
Total Amount For This Month So Far: 38.6 mm (60.2 % of LTA) at station 1, 60.2 mm (92.6 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Rain Days During This Month So Far: 4 (39.2 % of LTA) at station 1, 3 (31.6 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Dry Days During This Month So Far: 0 at station 1, 1 at station 2
We are still only in the first week of this month and yet this already means that just another 5.0 mm of rain or more 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 overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.
Total Amount During This Summer So Far: 61.6 mm (31.9 % of LTA) at station 1, 89.4 mm (46.2 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Rain Days During This Summer So Far: 7 (22.0 % of LTA) at station 1, 8 (27.8 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Dry Days During This Summer So Far: 21 at station 1, 21 at station 2
Total Amount During This Year So Far: 366.0 mm (48.5 % of LTA) at station 1, 380.6 mm (54.0 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Rain Days During This Year So Far: 61 (44.4 % of LTA) at station 1, 64 (51.5 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Dry Days During This Year So Far: 92 at station 1, 87 at station 2
LTA = 1981-2010 average for the month, season or year in question at the particular station in question.
All of this data has been taken from SEPA with each observation day starting and ending on 09:00 UTC on each day.
