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).

I've never tried to get any near real-time data from the EA but on a
number of occasions I've enquired about historical (a few years old)
rainfall measurements. I've always found the EA to be very cooperative
with the data provided free of charge. Their turnaround time is not the
fastest but for a free service I'm not complaining.
