Be interested to know why this is so localised


I don't think it's localised - it's just that the precipitation didn't
quite make it this far east. I'm sure that I would have recorded 4 or
5 times as much precipitation if I lived on the west side of
Canterbury!


There was more rain in Essex than I had here in St Albans Hertfordshire as I
recorded 11.2mm yesterday which is a lot lower than the 20mm+ in Epping
which is not far to the east.
