Warwick 28May08
Rainfall = 37.3mm
as measured in an 'manual' rain-gauge.
Previous results had always shown good correlation with 'approved' local
sites, but I was slightly dubious about Wednesday's total until I noticed
Coleshill here.
Certainly we had 2 extensive heavy downpours, mid morning and mid afternoon.
