In past 24 hours I have recorded 40.6 mm (useful) rain.

Nothing special of course up here but after a longish relatively dry spell it
seems strange to have proper rain once again.

We have slightly more annual rain than at Haytor and only on four
occasions, since September 2002, have we experienced more than 40 mm
rainfall in twenty-four hours.

Perhaps our rain isn't useful enough to be special. :-)

My apologies, but when you described 40mm/24hr as 'nothing special' I
got the impression that it was quite frequent.

No probs Alan.
By "special" I was thinking of a 1:10 year event.

Hmm, I think that if I was relying on a 'special' event only happening
1:10 years, I'd have it seen to.
