Ronaldsway recorded 48 mms, I live up in the northern Manx hills
(Ronaldsway is 25 miles away on the SE coast ), I recorded 94 mm on
Thursday 3rd December.

The back of our house is no more than 10 feet away, and 10 feet above,
the island's biggest river, the Sulby. Thursday was the highest I've
seen it in 25 years of living here. It literally came within a whisker,
a couple of inches, of flooding the house, which has never happened
before. Between 13.00 and 17.00 my Davis Vantage Vue showed rainfall of
78mm. I'm not sure just how accurate my rain gauge is but know it didn't
half throw it down. Never seen rain so heavy go on for so long before
and at 64 I'm pretty old.

Don't, will not, get into the climate change debate here I don't know
what to think. What I can say for sure is that over the last 8 years
I've been keeping records mean temps have risen slightly and rainfall
has increased markedly. I know 8 years isn't much and is certainly not
enough to make a decision on climate change, before somebody points it
out.

That is some rain Jim. Most I have ever recorded in one day in 13 years is
71mm but then we are on the dry side of Dartmoor. Postbridge has had 156mm
in one day. I guess you are also quite exposed? I suspect the Manx
climatology is revealing itself to you in all her guises.

I'll say it was, imagine a thunderstorm but instead of lasting 20
minutes or so, this went on for literally hours, personally I'd never
experienced rain like it in the British Isles. The most I've ever
recorded in a day before was similar to yours around 75 mm. That's why I
wondered just how accurate my rain gauge was. However the physical
effects were plain to see, never seen the river so high and local
flooding so bad before.

Apart from when you're wondering if the kitchen is about to disappear
under dirty river water, weather remains fascinating.
