Data For Recent Days

Total since 10 am BST (09:00 UTC) yesterday morning: 1.2 mm (as at 7:00 am BST (06:00 UTC) this morning on Tuesday 24 September 2024)

Monthly Data

Total for this month so far: 37.8 mm (68.5% of 1991-2020 September average)

Number of rain days during this month: 8 (75.9% of 1991-2020 September average)

Number of dry days during this month: 10

This means that at least another 17.4 mm of rain still needs to fall between now and the end of this month in order for this month to go

down as being wetter than average in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.

In addition to that, at least another 3 official rain days still need to be recorded between now and the end of this month in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average in terms of the number of rain days.

We had a very wet start to this month and for a while, it had looked as though this was going to be a very wet month but that has not turned out to the case and yesterday was only the first official rain day at Edinburgh Gogarbank since 14 September 2024. so it really hardly ever rains here in Edinburgh any more.

I am on 63mm but think my newish PWS under reads in heavy rain. 

131.4mm MTD, only 4mm or so to beat last year's washout and my record in 8 years at Bucklebury

Here’s the actual forecast. How can they be so utterly wrong in this day and age?:

 This Evening and Tonight:

Rain clearing eastwards brings a settled, though rather cloudy night for many. Scattered showers in the far southwest spill more widely across Cornwall through the night, turning heavy at times. Breezy and feeling cooler along the south coast. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Data For Recent Days

24 hour total up to 10 am BST (09:00 UTC) this morning: 20.0 mm

This makes yesterday our wettest day of this autumn so far by quite a considerable amount.

Monthly Data

Total for this month so far: 58.2 mm (105.5% of 1991-2020 September average)

Number of rain days during this month: 9 (85.4% of 1991-2020 September average)

Number of dry days during this month: 11

This means that more rain has now fallen during this month than the 1991-2020 September average and so regardless of what happens

during the rest of this month, this month will now go down as being wetter than average in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.

However, at least another 2 official rain days still need to be recorded between now and the end of this month in order for this month to

go down as being wetter than average in terms of the number of rain days.

I've just got home from work in Castleford. Much drier today than expected over there although by the afternoon it had started to rain more. Came home to find 25mm in the gauge which I was quite surprised about. I'd not checked it since Tuesday so not sure when it all fell. 

Anyway up to 91mm now.  

92mm here for the month now.

A lot of the rain has been of the heavy variety, with 5 events exceeding 30mm and several thunderstorms.
