... 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 local interest, the output from my Davis weather station is
online - may
be of interest to you for cross-checking conditions locally.


.... many thanks Jim: it looks as if the Hurn figure is fine: mighty
sharp cut-off though with *several* bands of rain - in fact I was
rather surprised that we only recorded 5 mm here - sounded like 15 :-)
