41mm of rain fell in just one hour in Edinburgh Botanics yesterday, which is a record downpour for the city. If we presume the whole Botanics had the same rainfall, that means about 11 million litres of water fell on the gardens. That's just over 4 Olympic swimming pools worth! pic.twitter.com/8PID5hvUi8
