This week's water scarcity report has been released a day early by SEPA and so, this report (which is dated Thursday 28 September 2023) can be viewed here . Given just how much rain we've been getting just lately though, there's not very many locations left here in Scotland which still have any kind of water scarcity status as the recovery from that goes on.

That said though, there are still some areas in NE Scotland, particularly around Aberdeenshire which haven't had as much rain during the last week as what the rest of us have had.

As a result, there is still one remaining part of Aberdeenshire which was at alert level during last week, and which will remain at alert level as regards to water scarcity for at least another week.

There were a few more areas which have now returned to normal after being at early warning status last week and so, that just leaves four remaining areas which are still at early warning status as regards to water scarcity with those locations being around Aberdeenshire and those areas in the far north of Fife and the south of the Tayside region which are centred around the city of Dundee.

This means that the vast majority of Scotland has now returned to normal in that regard.

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 (09:00 UTC) this morning: 3.4 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank, along with 1.8 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

Monthly Data

Final Total for September 2023: 86.2 mm (156.2% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 81.8 mm (148.9% of 1991-2020 September average) at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

Number of rain days during September 20203: 14 (132.8% of 1991-2020 September average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 14 (141.0% of 1991-2020 September average) at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

Number of dry days during September 2023: 13 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 11 at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

September 2023 started off on an exceptionally dry note with no recorded rainfall whatsoever for the first 9 days. At that point in time, SEPA had officially had this part of the world in a water scarcity situation, and I was really wondering where on Earth our next significant rainfall was actually going to come from.

After that though, the weather pattern became much more unsettled to the point where it has hardly stopped raining here since then.

The result of this is that we are no longer in a water scarcity situation according to SEPA and in fact, September 2023 ended up being wetter than average both in terms of the actual rainfall amounts and in terms of the number of rain days.

In terms of the actual rainfall amounts, September 2023 was also our wettest month of this year so far, despite the exceptionally dry start to it. Furthermore, there is a discrepancy in the data between the data from SEPA which I have reported here, and the actual raw BUFR/SYNOP data which shows the total for September 2023 at Edinburgh Gogarbank to be as much as 103.8 mm.

Seasonal Data

Total for this autumn so far: 86.2 mm (40.8% of 1991-2020 autumn average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 81.8 mm (41.8% of 1991-2020 autumn average) at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

Number of rain days during this autumn so far: 14 (38.5% of 1991-2020 autumn average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 14 (42.0% of 1991-2020 autumn average) at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

Number of dry days during this autumn so far: 13 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 14 at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh.

Annual Data

Total for this year so far: 456.8 mm (58.2% of annual average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 480.0 mm (66.0% of annual average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Number of rain days during this year so far: 89 (64.8% of annual average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 92 (71.7% of annual average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Number of dry days during this year so far: 144 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 136 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Very dry here in the S.E corner - just 22.6mm. Ground cracking again. Going to need a lot of winter rain I fear to get the aquifers up.
