Default Hurn rainfall ... looks odd?

... can't be 100% sure, but Hurn SYNOP (06Z) recorded 1mm for the period
18-06Z, whereas we had around 5 mm for the same period; there were several
short periods of moderate/isol heavy rain early evening & after midnight
(accompanied by gusty winds). The radar shows that the lines of heavy
convective rainfall did have a sharp cut-off along the coast, so it's just
possible that there was a genuine difference over the few miles between
us.


For the month, we are now up to 99 mm (just a whisker over 100% of the
1971-2000 eLTA).


The temperature anomaly for this month is now around +3degC on the eLTA..

Martin,

Had 1mm over the same period, so looks like Hurn's reading is genuine.
For local interest, the output from my Davis weather station is online - may
be of interest to you for cross-checking conditions locally.

Martin.

That is just another example of the chaotic nature of weather.

Cheers, Alastair.
