Just 3.3mm to 10am - disappointing given radar warnings of 60mm/hr intensity. Gives further weight against that story that radar can give a better idea than raingauge data

Not really. Any 60mm/hr intensity might easily just miss your gauge; or a shower with an intensity of 60mm/hr would give only 3.3mm if it passed by in 3 minutes and 20 seconds!

Radar is not always a perfect guide but most of the time it's good.
