The last dollop of torrential rain has produced a rate of 700 mm/h

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.

Hi Will,
Down here in Ilsington it was getting pretty serious as the road was awash and I was pretty concerned we were going to get flooded. A few years a go a special gulley was built outside our house and it certainly saved us from a flood. Yes it was amazing and like you have never seen anything quite like it in this country. The last time I saw anything like this was in Bangkok..
