Rather like Keith at Southend ,here in west Essex I got 4.8mm of rain last
night.
So if you ignore (nothing personal) Haytor in the west 91mm, Bracknell
clocked up 17mm ,here 4.8mm and Southend about 40 miles to the East 1.8mm.
What causes such enormous differences across such a comparatively short
distance considering the topography is similar and the rain was not
orographic ?.

... total rainfall measured (standard gauge) last night = 17.3mm, with
20.2mm in the 'rain-day' in the 24hr ending 0900GMT this morning. The
night maximum (also the 24hr maximum for the 29th) was 12.6°C.

Now up to 99% of eLTA rainfall for the month, and 104% for the year.
