Now that we've entered into another brand new month, it's time to start a brand new thread although the old thread is still available for members to post their final rainfall totals for last month.

As for this month, members can now post their all important totals for this month if they have anything to report for that.

Here in Edinburgh, this summer has started off on a much drier note after the exceptionally wet spring and during last month, we had less than half of our 1991-2024 June average rainfall.

That is at least one of the three main factors which make up a decent summer, which has actually gone quite well so far even though this hasn't actually been much of a summer so far as the fact that last month was drier than average has been the only decent aspect of this summer so far.

The big question now is whether the dry theme will continue during this month (preferably with some actual decent summer weather), or whether this month will end up being more unsettled and therefore wetter.

The latest models are indicating that this will depend on where you are in the UK but tend to be going for an Atlantic driven and westerly dominated month, but with the Azores high possibly ridging into the south of England at times.

This would suggest a drier than average month ahead in the south of England but a wetter than average month ahead in the north and west of the UK including the vast majority of Scotland.

For here in Edinburgh and SE Scotland in general, the models are going for our rainfall totals for this month to be close to the 1991-2020 July average which would be enough to keep the overall dry theme going for this summer.

Regardless of how all of this pans out though, this is the very place for posting those all important rainfall totals for this month in your area.

ditto.

Just 0.4 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank to date as well.

I don't normally post on here unless an official rain day (a day with 1.0 mm or more of rain) has been recorded at Ediinburgh Gogarbank because to me, anything less than that means that nothing is really happening in that regard which is all really worth reporting but even when that doesn't happen, I will still give an occasion update on here anyway.

A lively shower has just given us nearly 9mm, most of it over a 10 min period, rainfall rates up around 60mm/hr at the heaviest.

49.4mm in the last 2 and a bit days now.

---

What a crazy 3 days, such as shame for my wife as it was her 50th on Friday and being an Aussie, she would have preferred some better weather.

Today's total was 17.4mm, highest rate being 75.2mm/hr. monthly total now 57.8mm (almost 4 times June's)

18.2mm

14mm here so far, with rain expected overnight and tomorrow. 

38mm, with 24mm falling today - and it's started again!

Up to 45.6mm after yesterday's deluge

---

We've had about 38mm in past 24 hours taking month to 57.4mm.
July is often quite wet in the form of thundery periods, the average is on the high side for here at 70mm.
This recent deluge was poorly forecast as recently as 7am yesterday Met Office showed rain dying out by 1pm and largely dry evening but in fact there were outbreaks of thundery rain from 5pm until 4am
