Just getting to grips with things here - most of instruments still
packed away, screen lying desolate on the back grass.

After a night of often heavy rain and strong winds, measured rainfall
1800/30th June to 0900Z/1st July = 17.8 mm, and 24hr rainfall to 0900Z
was 29.3mm. As our exposure here is going to be appalling (given the
arrangement of the development we've moved to) can anyone locally say
if these figures look reasonable?

Seems that East Dorset is the place to be!

In WDorset on my amateur system, I had 34mm in the 24hrs to 0900 1 July.
So comparable, I guess.

Martin,

I measured 24.0mm in the 24 hours ending 01/0900Z (turned
out to be the wettest day of June 2007 here), so your values
look fine.

.... thanks for that: will have to watch for 'over-capture' of rainfall
as given the prevailing south to southwest drift, the buildings
close-by are going to be a cause of considerable eddying of the wind
and associated distortion of the precipitation 'envelope' when winds
are strong (as we've had for at least a couple of weeks now).
