Yes but no but, on this side of Dartmoor (no rain shadow)we have had only
16.9 mm in my 5 inch gauge up to 1800z which is hard to believe.
There must be quite an under reading due to the severe gales.

Plymouth Mt Batten is reporting 13.4 mm up to 1800z.

We had a brief lull for an hour here but now the rain is hammering down again at 1920z.
