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?

Hi Ken, I'm sure there are plenty of EA gauges there but as has been said here (or Weather and Climate forum) before, the data is protected like a state secret. The Honister total; was a good example of appearing to be out on a limb, we have no other really high totals to compare with - the MO network in Cumbria that is available in Colin's lists was high but not that exceptional (Keswick, Shap, Blencathra etc), though it was over two 18-18h periods. It would be great to see a Cumbria 24h rainfall map wouldn't it - I think MO must have all the EA data though (MeteoGroup did too, but only high daily totals).
