My (now hopefully fixed) raingauge is reporting 59.1mm of rain in the
last 24 hours (to 3pm Tuesday). That's the highest 24 hour total I've
ever recorded, going back over 5 years into my manual days.

Today (since midnight) already we're at 38.4mm.

I have recorded 68mm since 6pm yesterday evening (when this rain
started). I thought the rain had stopped but it has just started again
so it may be a little more when I get to the 24 hour point.


Hasn't stopped here, although not heavy now. Don't have a rain gauge
but the Dee is still rising slowly and there's an occasional small
fountain from the culvert cover at the bottom of the drive.
