If you look my blog I've done just that, but that's not using rainfall
from a 'real' site but is a composite value made up from many sites in a
region. What I really would like is daily values for a site in the SW that
extends back at least 40 years or more.

Its quite obvious from the lack of response that no one has a long period
rainfall record or seems to know of one which is a pity.

Cheer up! We aren't all watching this newsgroup ready to answer within an
hour of a post.

AFAIK, the data you want is held by BADC. Although they state that is is
only available to bona fide academics the general public can apply for
access. Provided you do not want to sell it on, I don't see why they
should refuse access. If they do, just mention the Freedom of Information
Act :-)

Cheers, Alastair.

Sorry, forgot the link to the BADC rainfall data:
