A quick web search reveals a site run by a den of sceptics that tries to demolish the record, even hilariously by discrediting the time period, stating that UK daily rainfall should be read at 09h not 10h - forgetting about summer time.

I had an idea that this had been rejected - otherwise the MO would not have said what they said about the new record this week.
