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: 0.4 mm at Station 1, 3.8 mm at Station 2
Final Total for July 2021: 65.4 mm (102.0 % of LTA) at station 1, 108.2 mm (166.5 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Rain Days During July 2021: 9 (88.2 % of LTA) at station 1, 11 (115.8 % of LTA) at station 2
Number of Dry Days During July 2021: 18 at station 1, 18 at station 2
July 2021 was a month which was actually dry on most days, but with quite a big rainfall event during the early part of the month which caused some flash flooding. The botanic gardens in Edinburgh bore the biggest brunt of that here in Edinburgh with Edinburgh Gogarbank getting away with that rather lightly.
This had quite a major impact on that month's rainfall totals as July 2021 ended up being a substantially wetter than average month at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh in terms of the actual rainfall amounts because of that, whereas the rainfall totals at Edinburgh Gogarbank were only just above average during that month.
On other days, the most unsettled weather as far as Edinburgh is concerned was in the east. This resulted in Edinburgh Gogarbank being slightly drier than average during July in terms of the number of rain days, but with the botanic gardens in Edinburgh being slightly wetter than average under that same scenario.
