The latest forecasts are predicting a wet end to this month, but this month has already been confirmed as being wetter than average in terms of the actual amounts and there are only 3 days left to go for this month after day so even with that predicted wet end to the month, our chances of seeing those above targets being met for the number of rain days as well is now looking very slim indeed.

54.5mm so far.

And here you can add almost 100 mm to your figure . A wet month  and wettest of year 

61.0 MM this month, expect more for Friday afternoon and evening.

An unexpected cloud burst at the moment that is not forecast.

0.9 mm to add to my total.. Make 1.2 mm now.

Heavy showers, clearing 138.0mm month to date.

72.0mm With more to come.

60.5mm with more to come tomorrow. 

Yet another below average month here but today's rain has pushed it up to a respectable 34mm. Not reached 200mm for ytd yet though.(192.4mm).  Incredible!

As it stands we’ve had 148.6mm this September that’s more than May,June,July and August combined….. still got a hose pipe ban🙄

The first above average monthly total this year now at 64mm (+2mm!) and wettest month this year by some margin.
February was nearest with 49mm, 6.6mm today
Year total 267mm is still about 200mm down

Finished on 73.5mm for the month here (assuming no more rain in the next hour). So wetter than average and about time too.

24 Hour Total Up To 10am BST this morning (09:00 UTC): 15.2 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 10.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

Monthly Data

Final Total for September 2022: 76.2 mm (138.1% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 75.0 mm (136.6% of 1991-2020 September average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

Number of dry days during September 2022: 16 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 15 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

In terms of the actual rainfall amounts, September 2022 was our first wetter than average month since February 2022 and our wettest month since then, but there is more than one way of measuring how wet or dry a particular month, season or year is.

The other way to do that is to go by the number of official rain days (days where at least 1 mm of rain has fallen within that 24 hour period) and when we go by that, we can see that the picture all of a sudden, doesn't look so wet after all.

The vast majority of last month's rainfall came in the early part of it, and yesterday was also a wet day here which ensured that September 2022 would end on a very wet note.

However, there was actually very little in the way of recorded rainfall in between all of that and because of that, September 2022 still turned out to be yet another drier than average month here in terms of the number of rain days.

17.4 mm in all from last night's rain band, which included a sharp shower at 12.30 am just after the general rain cleared away. Not exceptional stuff, just slightly more than the forecast 10-15 mm.

Just 5mm from it here, about 25 miles from you. Just goes to show how much of a rain-shadow effect there is from the Downs.

72mm for the month as a whole, more than the whole of June, July and August combined!

September final amount 85.3 mm 

Mostly due to the downpours.
