Shows up beautifully on the radar as a V shape as it moved North,

Looks like Belgium has taken a hammering too. Any reports, Colin ?

I have just been looking at the figures from the AWS at Emmbrook.
The TBR logged 23.2 mm in 32 minutes, but correcting for expected losses
that should be equivalent to 25.8 mm.
What is astonishing are the values for rain rates.


Here is the list of the one minute mean and max rain rates during the
storm, mm/hr (all times GMT, and time is minute ending at):
Time mean max
1809 12 16
1810 34 49
1811 40 46
1812 27 34
1813 27 43
1814 40 43
1815 40 49
1816 87 107
1817 101 177
1818 121 177
1819 154 314
1820 121 314
1821 127 506
1822 94 177
1823 101 177
1824 94 227
1825 148 314
1826 101 314
1827 20 36

The maximum indicated rain rate was 506 mm/hr at 1820z. Tips are timed to
the nearest 500 ms, so there is an error bar about 200 mm/hr wide at that
rate.

Yes, quite an event. Thanks, Bernard.

I arrived back in Brussels at 21.30 Belgian time last night after a
long weekend in West Yorkshire. Nothing severe reported in Belgium
on Tuesday from what I can see. I was passing through Kent on the
Eurostar around 19.00 UK time yesterday evening and it got very dark
at one time with heavy rain. Probably the edge of the Kent storms
described elsewhere.

Actual total from the 5 inch check gauge was 27.0 mm, so the TBR was
under-reading by a considerable margin.

Since been informed that the reading has been deemed unreliable and
discounted.

I was too quick here. As the storms hit very late in the evening the
reports were not published unil this morning.

West Flanders was affected by thunderstorms from around 23.00 Belgian
time on Tuesday night. Heavy rain led to temporary flooding in
places - notably in the area of Roeselare near Kortrijk and in Ostend.

In Oostduinkerke on the coast a garage burned down after a lightning
strike. In Gistel just inland from Ostend lightning set a house on
fire and in Menen by the French border a farm building was struck and
set on fire.

An observer in Hooglede near Roeselare reported a "very intense"
thunderstorm from 23.00 giving 41.9 mm rain in about an hour and a
half with up to 8 lightning flashes a minute shortly after midnight.

Ostend Airport measured 25 mm rain and an amateur observer in Ostend
21.3 mm between 23.15 and 00.55.

In Bruges 23.7 mm fell between 00.00 and 01.30. Koksijde had 18 mm
and Ghent 14 mm.
