Conclusion:    
 
Overall, a very warm year (possibly even our  warmest year on record).

Our first frost didn't occur here until we were almost at the end of November and then we had two of then successive nights just recenty, this wasn't enough to prevent the number of frosts from being poor altogether.

The autumn of 2022 was wetter than average both in termf the actual rainfall amounts and in terms of the number of official rain days, but was only our first wetter than average season since the winter of 2020/21.

Finally, the autumn of 2022 was duller than average overall.

There were no named storms during the autumn of 2022, but also no fog and very little in the way of frost.

Overall, I would therefore give the autumn of 2022 a score of just 1/10 as there was just too many warm nights within it and not enough cool, bright and crisp days.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.

I have no stats, but my assessment of autumn is basically 'rainy'

Until November, totals weren't that high, but the frequency of days where at least some rain fell in the 24 hour period was high (I'd put it at over 75% - and probably over 85% for the Oct/Nov period)
