Monthly Data
Total for this month so far: 52.0 mm (94.3% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 55.0 mm (100.1% of 1991-2020 September average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

Number of dry days during this month so far: 4 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 4 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
This means that more rain has now fallen during this month at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh than the 1991-2020 September average for that particular station which means that regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month, this month will now go down as being wetter than average there in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.
However, this also means that another 3.4 mm of rain or more still needs to fall 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 actual rainfall amounts.
Furthermore, this also 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.
However, it should be borne in mind that those are the two stations here in Edinburgh where there has actually been the least amount of recent rainfall as has been highlighted on this thread fairly recently so at other stations here in Edinburgh, this month's totals are already well above that particular station's long term September average, especially in the south of Edinburgh.
In addition to that, we are still not even halfway through this month yet ans so, it is probably safe to say now that this will be a wetter than average month in the end, even at Edinburgh Gogarbank which at long, long last will finally end our long run of drier than average months even though this hasn't officially happened there just yet.
