Default Rainfall totals in N Yorkshire

Just seen the news on ITN. Someone gave a rainfall totals figure of
42 mm. Seems a hell of a lot more than that. There may well have been
no rain gauges on the areas where there was most rainfall.


.... I think you are right: there will have to be a re-think of the
'official' amounts quoted I suspect - integration of the radar imagery
at high resolution will be required - the Met Office may put up a
summary on the web site - they did this with the Boscastle storm.
