Well the storms last night in Devon gave me a daily 1800-1800 total of 56.4 mm.
This is the highest 24 hour total I have ever recorded since moving here.


Records at my present site start in 1992, but my 4 largest 24 hour
totals are all this century.

84.5mm on 13/11/2002 - the day of the St. Ives flood - 100mm+ on the
moors above St. Ives.
78.9mm on 26/06/2006 - When there was considerable flooding just down
the road
62.8mm on 31/12/2002 - Extensive flooding in & around Pz
62.5mm on 14/09/2000

On the other hand, we missed all the heavy rain the lasr 24 hours, just
13mm overnight.
