Hello Ken / Dave. My final 09z total is 32.3mm! Easily the most I've
recorded - and more remarkable that it wasn't a thundery downpour. Looking
back over the record going back to 1961 at City of London cemetery the event
looks like it is in the 'Top 20' of rainfall events here. I am still
processing this old data so may be further down.
Looking in Gordon Manley's "Climate" this synoptic set up giving a deluge in
the SE is by no means unusual...
Without being too specific, Ken, where in Wanstead does your son live - our
paths have possibly crossed.

Hi, Scott,
Close to Wanstead Park. Lovely part of the world and so much to do and see
around there. I obviously read your posts with interest, he is very
impressed that I know what the weather's doing with so much accuracy!!
Best wishes,
Ken
