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 ?

I would always recommend anyone with any sort of automated
rain-gauge to install a manual gauge as well. This will give you an
accepted standard against which to compare the accuracy and
performance of your particular electronic instrument.

Philip
