Ended up with a very useful/welcomed 32 mm last night - the first significant rain for this month at my back yard. Just hope my brown-looking beloved lawn has a chance to green up before the hot weather set in.

Glad you also recorded only 1mm, I thought my gauge was acting up!

Still on 14.7 mm.

Less than 1/4 of June.

With weather warnings out for this evening into Wednesday then I am expecting a good amount to record.

If we can get the full impact here of tonight's thunderstorms, my next detailed report here may well be the one which confirms that this month is wetter than average overall at both Edinburgh Gogarbank and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh even though another 12.0 mm of rain is still needed for this month to be officially confirmed as being wetter than average at Edinburgh Gogarbank.

At the very least, I would expect the botanic gardens in Edinburgh to be confirmed as being wetter than average during this month as only another 2.4 mm of rain is needed there for that to happen.

In any case, the Met Office forecasts for this coming weekend are now looking more unsettled than what they were not too long ago which means that even if tonight's thunderstorms don't confirm this month as being wetter than average here, next weekend's forecast precipitation if it occurs, may well do so.

13mm last night. 35mm this month so far.

up to 40.6mm after last night's rain

About 10mm overnight total for the month 28mm now

For Edinburgh Gogarbank, that takes the total for this month so far to 58.0 mm, the total for this summer so far to 167.2 mm and the total for this year so far to 397.0 mm as at 8am this morning.

This means that a minimum total of just at least another 6.2 mm of rain now needs to fall at Edinburgh Gogarbank between now and the end of this month in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average there overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.

Since more rain has now fallen at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh during this month than the 1981-2010 July average for that particular station, this month will now go down as being wetter than average there overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month.
