Edinburgh may be one of the UK’s most extreme weather locations in the last 5 months. Following it’s driest April to wettest June, Gogarbank located near Edinburgh Airport is now in the midst of it’s coolest August in 24 years.
It started with an arid April.
Only 3.2mm of rain fell at Gogarbank and 4mm in the Botanic Gardens in the Scottish capital. https://t.co/UoHeUbM2wv

After 2-3 weeks of no rain, the tap was turned back on and forgotten to get turned off after that.

As for August, well it just can’t seem to warm up!
Looks like it's been coolest start to August for Edinburgh & Renfrewshire for over 20 years! Have to go back to 1993 to find lower temps. ☃️ pic.twitter.com/yu6FbduF42
