Hi Colin, Just curious, who provides the rainfall figures, The UK MO,
COL, or AWEKAS?. The BBC are quoting Brize Norton at 115mm.

Cheers

Hi Colin, Just curious, who provides the rainfall figures, The UK MO,

I take the rainfall figures from http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.u...er/nationwide/
and from WeatherOnline http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/ . They cover
the 24-hour period ending 18.00 GMT (19.00 BST).

When I looked earlier his evening, only OGIMET http://tinyurl.com/3253wd
quoted 125 mm for Brize Norton - 10 mm for the 12 hours ending 06.00
GMT and 115 mm for the 12 hours ending 18.00 GMT.

WeatherOnline and a Belgian synops list I consult quoted 10 + 2 mm
which was clearly wrong http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/EGVN.html

I think the "2" has been corrected to "115" which gives 10 + 115 = 125
for the full 24 hours. WeatherOnline now gives 125 mm for Brize
Norton.

Ready to be corrected if I have misinterpreted this, of course !

And for some reason Farnborough only recorded 28mm, which is ridiculous. We
had over double that just 3 miles away.

South Farnborough doesn't exist. The South Farnborough that appears from

The lat. & long. figures for "South Farnborough" quoted on the Met Office
site place the location (using both Multimap and Streetmap) just north of
the junction of Shoe Lane and Forge Lane, and hence a considerable way
"south of Farnborough" - not, as I had assumed, somewhere on the Farnborough
Airfield complex. I agree that it is misleading to invent a new place name
to describe the location, especially since it causes the data to appear
alphabetically in entirely the wrong place.

The Ordnance Survey marks "South Farnborough" not all that far from
the location you mention:
