As I write, SEPA is in the process of redesigning its website after the recent cyber attacks, which means that there is a delay in getting their data up to date (that delay is something which they have mentioned somewhere on their website).
As a result, the data for Comiston (which I know, is fairly close to the Braid Hills in the south of Edinburgh) only goes up to 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning as I write.
That is also the case with the data for the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and even the data for Edinburgh Gogarbank only goes up to 12 noon BST (11:00 UTC).
That showed a total of 3.8 mm in the 24 hours up to 10am BST (09:00 UTC) at Edinburgh Gogarbank but only 0.6 mm for there since then.
For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, I got a total of just 0.4 mm since 10am BST (09:00 UTC) yesterday morning according to all of the available data.
For Comiston, the total over that same period was 1.6 mm.
As a result of me not being able to get completely up to date with the data from SEPA, I am once again having to rely on raw SYNOP and BUFR data in order to share this report with everyone.
Comiston isn't a SYNOP site, so I can't get anything from there. I have checked the Met Office WOW site though, and the nearest station to Comiston which I could find there is a station which is named there as DF Edinburgh which is in roughly the same location.
There is a lot of detailed info there and rainfall is listed as part of that, but all of that data over the required time periods is showing up just as 0.0 mm which is clearly incorrect.
According to SEPA, this month's rainfall total at Comiston as at 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning was 25.6 mm which is also the total for this summer as at that same time, whereas the total for this year at same time at Comiston was 288.2 mm.
Swanston weather station is just to the south of Comiston and had a rainfall total for this month of 26.2 mm as at 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning with a further 2.3 mm of rain being recorded since then according to the Met Office WOW site (that increases this month's total for there to 28.5 mm as at 2:15pm BST (14:15 UTC) this afternoon which is also the total for this summer as at that same time).
Meanwhile, the total for this year so far as at that same time at Swanston was 268.1 mm.
For the botanic gardens in Edinburgh, the raw BUFR data at weatherobs.com shows that a total of just 1.6 mm of rain was recorded there since 10am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning as at 2pm BST (13:00 UTC) this afternoon.
This means that the total for there during this month so far and for this summer so far as at that time was only 22.4 mm whilst the total for this year at that same time at that same station was only 216.0 mm.
Finally for Edinburgh Gogarbank, the raw SYNOP data only shows a further 0.2 mm of rain for there as at 2pm BST (13:00 UTC) this afternoon. This raises the total for both this month and this summer there as that same time to 33.6 mm with the total for this year at that same station going up to 264.2 mm as at that same time.
