This morning has brought some more very heavy but very brief showers, but it has also brightened up quite a lot at times as well with the occasional burst of sunshine. The result of this though, is that a total of 18 minutes of sunshine has been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.
This morning's showers have been very heavy at times, but they have been so brief that they have actually added very little to today's rainfall totals here since my last report on this thread. This means that today's rainfall total so far as at 12 noon was 7.6 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank and at least 10.6 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
In addition to that, the temperatures are also generally refusing to rise just now and so the temperature at 12 noon was 17.2°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, 18° at Edinburgh Airport and 18.4°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
