60 minutes: 56.8mm near Crewkrene (Bruton 40mm)

... thanks again: I just wondered how they compared with the list of
'extreme' rainfall events and none of them at face value are
threatening the various records. The 56.8 mm in 60 mins for example,
set against the published record which I believe is 92 mm in 60 mins
at Maidenhead (Berkshire) in 1901 (July).

Hi, Martin and Chris,

The 48mm (I think) in 15 minutes at Carlton in Cleveland, North
Yorkshire - Mike Cinderey's site- on August 10th 2003 is not on the
Met O list for some reason. It was verified by the Met O and Stephen
Burt and, I think, Will Hand did some work on it.
I bring it up occasionally just to remind people. One day the Met O
might give it an airing!

Best wishes,
Ken
