The rain has cleared away for now, but that has just taken us into yet another grey and overcast nothingness with yet more constant grey and gloomy skies. This means that as at 5pm this afternoon, there is still nothing at all in the way of sunshine which has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank.
The rain did eventually get heavier for a while during this afternoon though and so, this takes today's rainfall totals so far as at 5pm this afternoon to 4.2 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 3.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
This means that today will now go down as yet another official rain day at both of those stations although the total for Edinburgh Gogarbank has continued to fall well short of what was needed to fall there during today, in order for this month to even be in with a chance of being wetter than average overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.
In addition to that, today has been an unseasonably cold day. Over the last hour or so, the temperatures gave started to recover a little bit and because of that, I will hold off from reporting today's maximum temperatures until my later update at 9pm.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 5pm this afternoon was 12.3°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 12°C at Edinburgh Airport and 12.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
