Looking at Ant Veal's site in Teignmouth, today's rainfall in about 15
hours, until it eased off, at 1500, to blowing drizzle which hardly
troubled the rain guage any more, at 31mm, was greater than the whole
of April and May combined. Now that has to be pretty exceptional! What
a foul and forgettable day. I'm glad I saved work for today!

Even with that huge belt of rain over us all day, we only scraped 7-8mm
here.

We did have the rarity (in summer anyway) of the maxima being at night,
though - about 5 to midnight in fact.
