You're right - that has just jogged my memory - I was travelling back
from camping in Broadstairs just before that deluge arrived -
Southend seafront was like a waterfall according to videos posted
online, Rainfall seems quite varied in this event which ran from 6am
till just after 9pm here Wanstead 22.2mm, Laindon 25.3mm, Woodford
Wells 35mm?? Is Ron's station playing up? A station in North London
recorded 38.5mm.

Interestingly St James Park, my closest official station, recorded
38.2mm - the highest 24hr total 6am to 6am. That is some difference,
the rain band must have pivoted

21.0mm now since it started yesterday, funny sort of weather atm,
breezy NE'ly can see some blue sky about between the scud and at time
quite wet light rain. Not sure if that heavier band over Kent has my
name on it or not, it's a close call.


I had 15.2mm yesterday (midnight to midnight), total for the month is 60mm
which is near average. There seems to be quite a bit of rain around north
and south of us at the moment. Slight drizzle is as much as we have had
here since 07:00.
