Default Heavy rain in S England on Monday - Liscombe 48 mm

54mm in 24 hours so far in Sturry, Near Canterbury, Kent, and still raining
at 22:36.

Combined with 45mm yesterday, this brings my May rainfall total to 110mm. Up
until the 24th May, I had only recorded 11mm for this month!

Cheers,

-Ben
