A rather cloudy end to today means that in the end, nothing in the way of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank. This makes today the first completely sunless day of both this month and this spring and so as well as being a very wet start to this month, this is also turning out to be a very dull start to the month in this part of the month.
Then as if we hadn't had enough rain already for today, there has been some further rain during this evening and it is still raining a little bit as I write.
