Hi Colin,
Regarding the rainfall from Fair Isle, the hourly totals through the
period 1300-1800 Z show a total of 81 mm with a further 6.4 mm (18-19 Z)
and 7.8 mm (19-20 Z), i.e. that is now 119 mm since 0600 Z. Cannot
confirm whether it is correct, but location in relation to the deepening
low suggests it could well be, whilst also noting that Lerwick has
recorded another 16.6 mm in 2 hours to 2000 Z.

Thanks, Andy. I hoped you might see my comment and be able to shed
light on this. I have learnt to look twice at such apparently extreme
figures, and couldn't find any corroboration of the Fair Isle total online.
