Did it rain in Glasgow?
Yes — Glasgow had a proper soaking last night
25.5mm of rain fell overnight — heavy enough that the garden likely won't need water for a few days.

25.5mm — Heavy / soaking rain
Well watered — hold off
43.7mm of rain in the last 7 days is a good soak. Most of the garden shouldn't need watering right now — containers and anything under cover are the exception, since rain doesn't reach them the same way.

The bigger picture — last 90 days
Drier than usual
255mm has fallen over the last 90 days — Glasgow usually gets around 353mm in that stretch, so that's 72% of normal.
It rained meaningfully as recently as yesterday.
This week's rain is welcome, but it's on top of a much longer dry stretch — the ground underneath may still be parched. Established shrubs and trees can benefit from an occasional deep, slow soak even when the topsoil looks fine.
