I wasn't going to produce another ob but the amount of rain that
has fallen in the past hour is worthy of one, especially since only
0.1mm had fallen up to 2100Z today. Heavy rain commenced at
2055Z and if anything, pepped up to max intensity about half an
hour later, bringing more than half an inch of water into the gauge
inside one hour. The wind swung sharply round to WSW with a
marked decrease in speed.
