20.2mm recorded today in Springbourne. Noticed from the radar that a clump
of rain passed just north of here while it was relatively light for a time
this morning, which might account for the extra few mm that Martin got.

Unfortunately I decommissioned the Davis station I ran at work last month,
as our site at Hurn is closing tomorrow.
Whether I will put it up at our new location near Fareham remains to be
seen.

... (4th August, 2011): not sure what's happened to the Hurn output, but
on the SYNOP at 06Z, only a 'trace' was shown (and therefore a 'trace' for
the 24hr).

In fact, it's been moderate, isolated heavy rain here (only a few miles
away) since around midnight: at 06Z we had accumulated ~11mm (electronic),
and currently (0830Z), we're up to 22 mm (electronic).

I'll be doing the check-gauge in about half-an-hour.

Martin.
