Here in Edinburgh, we have just had a few spots of rain in the last 24 hours, but nothing more than that.

The main band of rain fragmented as it approached here and just about missed us to our east before reforming and pepping up again, just to our north.

That has been an almost constant ongoing story in recent days and it means that NE Scotland along with most of the rest of the UK is continuing to see plenty of rain from these weather fronts (as the Doc or Richard from Aberdeen will no doubt report on here later on) whilst Edinburgh continues to get next to nothing at all from that.

Furthermore, I was watching Gavin P.'s live stream last night and on there, I notice that the GFS model has now backed away from its wetter than average scenario for here over the coming 10 days.

Earlier on in Brian's September outlook video on YouTube, there were another couple of charts which showed us getting more than our entire month's rainfall in that same time frame but recent events have probably proved beyond doubt now, that there was never going to any chance of those charts actually verifying as it is never anything else here any more, other than drier than average these days.

That indeed, continues to be something which I can't see changing any time soon here.

5.6mm from the overnight thundery showers. We are off the mark ! 

16.0 mm 

This month.

Another 7mm today so up to 22.5mm and sailing past August already.

17.4 mm This month.

26.5mm as of 8pm today.

Here in Edinburgh, today's showers have resulted in a further 4.6 mm of rain being recorded during today at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh but although the rain was very heavy (and almost torrential) here for a while during this afternoon, just a measly 0.2 mm of rain was recorded out of all of that at Edinburgh Gogarbank which shows how very localised these events can be.

I can report though that even though it is now very late at night as I write, there are some further showers in our vicinity, so our rainfall totals could yet end up being a bit higher by tomorrow morning than what they are just now.

20.6 mm in all today, 10.6 of it from the early morning shower and the other 10 by this evening's thundery showers. The lawn is saved, just hope it isn't too far gone but I have scattered grass seed all over it last week.

Another 12mm from our convective spell yesterday

44mm total so far this month all from thundery showers

Lawn will be fine, it's amazing how quickly it can recover. Mine is looking good now after the rain of the last week.

39.9 MM  This month due to sharp down pours. 

Nature redressing the balance. 70 mm so far this month.. we only had 61mm in June,18 mm in July and 33mm in August. Could end up being a wet soggy month.

The lawns round here are lush and green again despite being parched to the point of bare earth by the end of July. It's basically impossible to kill grass through drought, it just goes dormant. It's only if the roots get physically destroyed by too much traffic over the dusty soil.

26mm so far today and plenty more to come from these intense showers. Up to 49mm for September already which accounts for about 17% of the annual rainfall so far this year, in 8 days.

30.5mm so far. Hard to keep up at the moment!

’only’ 17mm here by comparison. 

I've often noticed a fairly big difference in your and SpeckledJims (Thorner) totals compared to me and Tim A who are both in Leeds 16. It's surprising what difference just a few miles further east seems to make. 

Another 9.4mm yeaterday fiving 54mm for the month so far
