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.



Great stuff Howard !

Nowhere near that here on Dartmoor.

You love it really :-)

Well, reaching new highs and lows certainly makes life interesting.

My new high for a 24 hour period (1800 on 7-11-05 to 1800 on 8-11-05) is
74mm. I just couldn't manage that extra 1mm to reach 75 but that leaves
a new target for a future occasion. A neighbour who ventured to lower
levels this afternoon reported chaos with flooding in many places.
