Thanks for all that Chris, though the total here at my site on the NW
side of Penzance was 60mm overnight, though it was much less just to
the south over Newlyn. We've subsequently had more rain today, so the
total for the 24 hours to 21:00 this evening at my site in Penzance
looks like being around 75mm.
I think the press reports saying St Ives had 50% of their months
rainfall overnight are using the far, far lower Camborne figure.
Camborne was virtually unaffected by the storm in question, having
much of it's rain during heavy bursts of rain during the evening of
24th.

Last night's high rainfall figures were not confined to Cornwall.
St. Mary's (Isles of Scilly) notched up a noteworthy 54mm in
11 hours ending 25/0200Z and I believe another 20mm or so
has fallen since, coming close to your total of 75mm, Graham.

Does anyone know of the average April rainfall at St. Mary's?

Approx 55mm I think - Philip's the one with exact figures.
