Default Radar summary for Somerset storms (29/05/08)

"CHRIS KIDD" wrote...
Below is a quick summary of the storms over Somerset as seen by the
Cobbacombe radar: the assessment is based upon the 2x2km radar
product (5 minute scans). Note that the radar it not 'truth' - but
is useful is these instances to look at the spatial pattern of
rainfall.

Highest total for the day was at Batcombe (north of Bruton/east of
Evercreech) with a total of 70.1mm. Surrounding areas also had high
totals (e.g. 67.9 and 60.1mm) which suggests that this total is
plausible -


.... many thanks for posting that comprehensive summary. Is it possible
to determine from the radar output over what period of time those
totals were produced?

Martin.
