Here in Edinburgh, the rain eventually stopped for a while during this afternoon and it even dried up a bit for a while. However, it has continued to remain dull and overcast throughout today and just to cap what has ended up being a rather miserable write-off of a day, the rain then returned during this evening and it is still raining just now as I write.
The end result of this is that nothing in the way of sunshine was recorded for today in the end at Edinburgh Gogarbank which makes today the second completely sunless day of this month, the 9th sunless day of this spring and the 19th sunless day of this year.
At the same time, a total of 7.8 mm of rain has now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 9pm this evening along with 7.2 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh which has now also confirmed this spring's status as our first wetter than average season at both of those stations since the summer of 2017 in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.
Today's maximum temperature was 11.5°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 11°C at Edinburgh Airport and 10.5°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
