Between about 5am & 11am today, we got around 24mm. No thunder though,
just steady rain.

The total here for the 24 hours ended 2100 BST was 30.7mm. Nearly all
of it fell at or near the times you mentioned Nigel.

It was quite exciting to see the avbrief radar coloured white (30
mm/hour) on the 0730Z radar image - right on top of my house!
