This means that just another 4 or more rain days now needs to be recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank between now and the end of this month in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average there in terms of the number of rain days.
This means that just another 5 or more rain days now needs to be recorded 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 there in terms of the number of rain days.
Despite a changeable outlook in the model output though, neither of those above two scenarios are actually likely to happen as there are only 5 days left of this month after today, so every single one of the next 5 days at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh would need to go down as an official rain day and that is very unlikely, even going by the latest model output, although we can never rule out the possibility at this time of the year of a massive downpour which could produce enough rainfall to skewer this month's totals by enough to produce a wetter than average month in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.
