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

Martin,
of course, remember that the figure I use are 4 square
kms - compared with point gauge location: inevitably the point gauge
lcoations will have higher intensities/totals than area avergaes.


.... indeed; I note that Philip has 70.1 mm on his summary for a
location in Somerset, but with no period of accumulation. I've no
doubt that in due course we'll get a detailed summary of this event,
but your figures are a useful starting point. The Met Office NCIC
sometimes prepare a summary of information that they are able to
obtain - they get EA gauge data.

Martin.
