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.


snip

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.
