Default Channel Islands rain - Guernsey 56 mm

Hi Colin

Yes, 56 mm indeed. Not exceptional but it fell from a rain band that was not
particularly intense and never more than 50 miles wide by my reckoning
(having studied the radar at intervals yesterday).

Thanks for your regular reports which are much appreciated.
