I have had an e-mail from Wittering Met. Office confirming the figures.

Rainfall at Wittering on Thursday was 52.6 mm in 12 hrs ending 0900
[continuous rain over about 9 hours] and 52.9 mm in 12 hrs ending 2100
[violent thunderstorm with hail] i.e. 105.5 mm for that 24 hour period.

Crumbs ! Can't say they weren't warned :-)
