A wet afternoon (>95% chance of heavy rain over several hours was forecast) didn't really materialise. It did rain, but not very heavily. It was supposed to stop around 8pm, but since then we've had a pretty spectacular deluge. At 8pm the automatic rain gauge had recorded 7mm. 80 minutes later, it reads 25.6mm. Between 8 and 8.30 I thought it had developed a fault it was tripping so fast. Every 0.2mm registers via a reed switch and at times it seemed to jump 0.4mm at a time. It was coming down at about 1mm per minute for a while.
The radar map gives the impression that it won't last much longer for us, but ElyDave looks as though he's had a fair bit.
