Hi all,

I had a few problems with my ws2300 rain guage and eventually
replaced it early this year. Since then I've been checking/comparing
against local reports - e.g. Phil L who seems to be closest. Recorded a
total of 220mm in July which seemed rather high. However
last night recorded 90mm all between 6pm and midnight ! Unfortunately I
was in London 'till past midnight and it was dry
there. Clear evidence of high rainfall when we got home - Jacobs
Well roads flooded, piles of granite chippings off the neighours
shed, plus *plenty* of water in flower pots. But 90mm ? Anyone else
get anything like that amount ?
Cheers

220mm seems excessive from the July Met Office Contoured Maps which show
rainfall totals between 100 and 150mm. 90mm also seems excessive for last
night.
