Rainfall Records

[Little Jim]

Is there an online record of rainfall data?

Specifically I am trying to find the rainfall data for the 28th March at Virginia Water near Staines.

There are two sites that I use - it's just a case of taking pot luck to see if anyone has a weather station there.

That's mine, in Southend. There's a map on the website somewhere.

That's not that far away...

Be aware, though, that there are quite a few people who unthinkingly record what their automatic rain gauge says when it's quite inaccurate.

Edit: it's very close to Heathrow. Doesn't the airport publish daily weather records? I'm damned sure they would be very accurate.

Thank you for the reply and I will have a look at those two sites.  You are right about Heathrow, I never thought of that  , they must know to the nearest millimetre how much falls every hour.  But whether they publish it remains to be seen, so this afternoon's quest...

That looks useful.

Many thanks for your trouble Wow, that has resolved the problem!

I think the UK Met Office publishes stats for Heathrow.
