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.


Certainly right here in the middle of Norfolk, it's been steady rain all day
after a rainy night, yet the water level in the stream at the end of the
garden is entirely normal. The stream can rise in level quite quickly in a
sustained downpur, but it also recedes quickly. No sign of anything which
gives me concern as yet.
