Here in Edinburgh, this afternoon and evening have been thoroughly wet and miserable with the result that in the end, nothing in the way of sunshine was recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank. That makes today only the first complete sunless day of this month at that particular station, but the 8th sunless day of this summer there.
It has never stopped raining since it first started at around lunchtime and as I write, it is still absolutely chucking it down here with the odd really torrential downpour at times which resulted in 7.4 mm of rain falling at Edinburgh Gogarbank just in the last hour alone.
As at 9pm tonight, the astonishing total of 30.2 mm of rain had now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with just 18.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the temperature at 9pm this evening was around 11°C here in Edinburgh.
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.
