The latest rainfall data for Edinburgh Gogarbank and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh are as follows:

Data For Recent Days

24 Hour Total Up To 10am BST yesterday morning (09:00 UTC): 0.8 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 1.8 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Total since 10am BST yesterday morning (09:00 UTC): 1.0 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 0.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (as at 8am BST this morning on Tuesday 27 September 2022)

Monthly Data

Total for this month so far: 60.2 mm (109.1% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 63.6 mm (115.8% of 1991-2020 September average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of rain days during this month so far: 8 (75.9% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 8 (80.6% of 1991-2020 September average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of dry days during this month so far: 14 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 13 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

This means that just another 3 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 2 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.

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.

The latest rainfall data for Edinburgh Gogarbank and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh are as follows:

Data For Recent Days

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 rain days during September 2022: 9 (85.4% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 9 (90.6% 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.

Seasonal Data

Total for this Autumn so far: 76.2 mm (36.0% of 1991-2020 Autumn average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 75.0 mm (38.3% of 1991-2020 Autumn average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of rain days during this Autumn so far: 9 (24.7% of 1991-2020 Autumn average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 9 (27.0% of 1991-2020 Autumn average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of dry days during this Autumn so far: 16 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 15 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

Annual Data

Total for this year so far: 434.6 mm (55.4% of 1991-2020 year average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 381.4 mm (52.4% of 1991-2020 year average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of rain days during this year so far: 89 (64.8% of 1991-2020 year average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 80 (62.4% of 1991-2020 year average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of dry days during this year so far: 142 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 140 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

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.
