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

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!



.... I *think* the 15 min. record is still the 55.9 mm at Bolton on
18th July, 1964. Anyone confirm? I didn't post that one (or indeed
the Carlton-in-Cleveland figure) as I don't think we are dealing with
that sort of intensity - looking at the radar data on the day, but of
course I could well be proved wrong.

Martin.
