It is interesting that many of the places flooded are not low-
lying or near the Severn, eg Moreton-in-Marsh, about 400ft, and parts
of Cheltenham. The floods were not due simply to the Severn getting
too big for its boots but ti the tremendous amounts of rain which
actually fell on or near the flooded places.
What was the highest daily total on July 20th? I know that
Brize Norton got 126 mm. Any others?

157mm in 48h at Pershore College of Ag (....gently pointing Tudor

Overview" and http://www.climate-uk.com/monthly/0707.htm )
