In mid-Devon we seem to have been very lucky and escaped much of the heavy
rain today that has affected southern coastal counties, here in Bradninch we
have only had 2.0mm.

Eastbourne must be pretty miserable as I estimate that there has been 41mm
of rain there since midnight. Much of the heavy rain that moved up from the
SE seems to be less intense as it tracks into East Anglia, although Cornwall
is still getting some 16mm/hr pixels.

Out of interest Haytor Vale is currently number 3 in the wettest places list
today with 39.9mm till 1445 UTC at a guess.

I'm sure our turn will come later today and overnight.
===========================================

21mm so far today Bruce, so some tweaking to your software is required. Max.
rate 92 mm/h. No thunder definitely heard. Eastbourne had 78 mm in 12 hours
according to an observer on UKWW. All eyes now to the developing convergence
zone over Cornwall set to provide many hours of heavy rain as it trundles
slowly east. I suspect that will be the main news item tomorrow.
