What's remarkable of this comes from the fact that we are into what should be our driest period of the year on average.

In our wettest months such as October or December, 100 mm of rain in such a month wouldn't actually be all that far above the 1991-2020 average for that particular month.

Because March is one of our driest months of the year on average though, this has meant that we have now had almost twice our 1991-2020 March average rainfall with the amount of rainfall which we've had during this month so far.

In addition to that,  this spring is clearly going to end up being wetter than average here overall now, unless April and May suddenly end up being exceptionally dry and we would probably need to be getting virtual drought conditions during those two months in order for that to not end up being the case.

96.8mm to the end of the 28th. I wonder if I'll finally just be spared of another 100mm month? It would be the first of its kind since June! 😮

Matt Baker on BBC showing rainfall figures for March - 200%+ widely for S England and Midlands with top figure 243% at Pershore. As I noted in the Forum Arms yesterday, the Severn Valley below Worcester is an inland sea.

Edinburgh has been let off lightly - 'only' 192%

Edinburgh always gets off lightly when it comes to rainfall which is why we hardly ever get any wetter than average months here these days (this month is only our first wetter than average month of this year and also our wettest month of this year so far by some considerable amount) even when the rest of the UK is experiencing a deluge.

This means that it only ever really gets really wet for a very short period of time when it does before drying out again, and usually before that even happens in the rest of the UK.

Because of that, I wouldn't be surprised if April is a lot drier and possibly even drier than average with the deluge going on elsewhere although that will be more of a subject for next month's thread when that is started tomorrow.

Another fairly wet month with March recording 144.4mm less than last March which was 164mm but that came after a very dry February.

The latest rainfall data for Edinburgh Gogarbank is as follows:

Monthly Data

Final Total for March 2024: 101.2 mm (192.8% of 1991-2020 March average).
Number of rain days during March 2024: 13 (126.5% of 1991-2020 March average).
Number of dry days during March 2024: 9

A thoroughly wet month, especially in terms of the actual rainfall amounts with nearly twice the monthly average rainfall.

Seasonal Data

Total for this spring so far: 101.2 mm (68.1% of 1991-2020 spring average)
Number of rain days during this spring so far: 13 (43.0% of 1991-2020 spring average).
Number of dry days during this spring so far: 9

Unless April and May are both exceptionally dry with virtual drought conditions, this spring is already looking certain to be wetter than average overall.

Annual Data

Total for this year so far: 227.4 mm (29.0% of 1991-2020 annual average).
Number of rain days during this year so far: 40 (29.1% of 1991-2020 annual average).
Number of dry days during this year so far: 26

Unlike the last two years, there are no concerns about any overall deficit at this time of the year and if anyway, we actually have a rainfall surplus for this time of the year which hasn't been the case for quite a while here.

Yet another disgraceful month here. The 7th consecutive wetter than average month with 79.8mm (144%). Wettest pair of consecutive Marches since 1987/88.

The hell is just never ending with just three drier than average months in 19 now and the rolling 12-month total remaining ludicrous at 1176mm🤢

A bit wetter here in Edinburgh's southern suburbs. March total was 123mm (224%)

A dull month too, only 87hrs sun (75%)
