The Rochdale figure does seem excessive though, that's nearly 3 inches! Here, although it was a thoroughly wet day with frequent downpours in the afternoon it didn't strike me as being exceptionally wet. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |

Average of just over 8mm/hr. 3" in that time scale is not uncommon up here but would bring the rivers and streams up rather a lot and produce flooding in all the normal places. In an urba area I'd expect to see reports of flooding, particulary as the media has a thing about flooding ATM after last year. -- Cheers Dave. |

BBC reports some flooding in parts of Greater Manchester - though perhaps not 73 mm worth http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...er/7476773.stm Colin Youngs Brussels |
