Default Record rainfall?

Nicholas is correct - it was the 24h to 0900 UTC yesterday, the 29th. It is the EA gauge at Honister and the total was 212.8mm.

Hi, All,
This reminds me of a cross section map we learnt in geography back in the 1960s(wish I could find it now). It showed height against rainfall from the west coast of northern England to the east coast, about 100 miles if I recall correctly.
The area around Honister was the wettest in England and the east coast around Teesmouth one of the driest.
Copley managed just trace when Honister recorded that massive total on Monday, that could be around 80 miles, I think.
Long live the rain shadow!
