Yep, a very wet night here in Knaresborough.
Started about 2000 yesterday, giving 33mm for the overnight event. I
ventured out about 6am this morning, the paddock out back rarely looks
that flooded even in the depths of a wet winter!
I think for once even Metcheck/GFS underestimated the amount, the last
forecast I looked at on Saturday was the order of 18mm ISTR.

Another 4mm this afternoon in a sharp squall that lasted about 10 mins.

Another depression for this week....oh what a great summer.
