It's been a while since I last posted here, but I would like to correct a few things there as those totals were actually a bit higher than what they were as it turned out.
To bring everything up to date, the latest total for this month at Edinburgh Gogarbank is 88.8 mm as at 10pm tonight, along with 102.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
For the autumn, these totals are 169.4 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 180.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh whereas the totals for this year so far are 754.3 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank and 684.4 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
These numbers aren't quite a high as what I reported beforehand, but they are still well above the 1981-2010 averages for this month which means that this has still been a considerably wetter than average month in terms of the actual rainfall amounts.
However, we didn't get any of the recent rainfall which affected most of England and Wales and because of that, there has actually been very little in the way of rainfall here during the last week or so.
This has also meant that the number of official days is actually slightly below average during this month at both of those stations and with just two days left of this month to go, there aren't enough days left in this month for the number of official rain days during this month so far, to be able to catch up with these averages.
This means that regardless of what happens during the last two days of this month, this month will actually go down as being drier than average at both of those stations in terms of the number of official rain days.
