If JimB or any of his WeatherQuest colleagues are reading this,
one or two rainfall stats would be interesting and useful, especially
now that there's nothing closer in the synoptic network than
Wattisham, Marham and the not-entirely-reliable Weybourne.

I've heard an unconfirmed 38mm at North Walsham, but
without any information about the period it was recorded in.
The pictures of flooding in Gt Yarmouth on News24 suggest
something appreciably in excess of that.

Philip,

If the rain here between 1115z and 1200z is anything to go by then I
should think there were probably some very high totals in parts of East
Anglia if the radar is anything to go by.

The radar shows that we had a very narrow but stationary belt of rain
over us, orientated NW/SE. The great mass of yellows and reds over East
Anglia looks much more impressive than what we had here.

A total of about 10 mm fell here. There was 3.3 mm between 1135z and
1140z according to the Davis VP (logs data at 5-minute intervals). The
maximum rate was 65 mm/hour. I assume that is based on the shortest time
between bucket tips.
