Default Rain in Reading-Maidenhead area

Philip,

I was away from Wokingham during the relevant period, but there was heavy
rain and some very black looking sky when I returned at 1430. I will let you
know if there was anything spectacular here for those times when I analyse
the autographic rain recorder chart tomorrow AM.

The radar image, courtesy of Avbrief, showed several white pixels (over
32mm/hr) in the Reading-Maidenhead district at 1245, 1300 and 1315.
Any ground truth for this pocket of heavy rain?

I notice there was a marked discontinuity in the display at about
53.5 degN for several hours suggesting calibration difficulties.
