Default Two heavy rain totals from Dartmoor


(Only!) 34.7 mm here in Okehampton read this morning, but the east
Okement river is a raging torrent. 2 slight hail showers (late
morning & the other at 1330) here but just Ci around now with temp of
2.2'C.
Looks like it'll be quite icy by morning.

Both private rain gauges:
Tavistock 53mm (low down on western side of moor)
Postbridge (circa 370m asl) 85mm .

Moorland streams/rivers are high, very fast flowing and dangerous (but the
kayakers will love the conditions).
