Recent days haven't been all that wet here and there are even some hints in the latest model output that it could even become drier towards that latter part of next week as high pressure builds in.

Yet, we are only just over halfway through this month and even if you were to subtract 100 mm from this month's total so far at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh and assumed that this amount didn't actually fall, this month would still be more or less on course to end up being wetter than average overall at that particular station in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.

That in turns, shows just how wet and miserable, the first 11 days of this month in particular, actually were.
