The last dollop of torrential rain has produced a rate of 700 mm/h
http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm

12 mm fell in a 10 minute period according to AWS.

Measured rainfall for today is now over 75 mm.
Still raining (much lighter at 1935).

Can 700 mm/h be correct, surely a malfunction due to the tipping bucket
mechanism being overwhelmed?
Mind you I have never seen such sustained rainfall intensity as has fallen
in the past hour here, it really was very very heavy.
