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.

Found it! Principles of physical geography FJ Monkhouse p456 Fig 184.Workington to Middlesbrough, Composite relief and rainfall profile.
It goes right past my back door, well Barnard Castle (no comments about the type size, please!)
90 miles apparently, I wasn't far out.

It's funny you should mention that book, reminds me of my geography days!

Hi, Graham,
Amazing isn't it. I can recall things that long ago (some of the 60s are a bit hazy, though!) but, according to swmbo, I can't remember what I did yesterday!
I wonder if the EA obs are available for Teesdale, especially the upper dale, for Monday to compare, and also for my weekly article in the local paper? Julian?

There were a few EA rainfall gauges within 10 miles of Penzance. Porthcurno, Drift water works, Trengwainton Gardens, also the Penzance Penlee site - up until it's closure. I was a bit lucky, getting talking to a girl who couldn't have been more helpful. She must have spent some time at it, as she sent me a bucketload of spreadsheets! Needless to say, I bypassed Customer Services.

I've still got most of my geography degree text books
