I can't beat Guernsey but we had 29mm or rain here in the 18h to 6pm,
now up to 30.5mm on the tipping bucket. Thunder and sheet lightning at
times, too.

Not much has changed out there in the last 40 odd years then. I went out
to Guernsey to rebuild the runway and aprons in July 1974, working night
shift when the planes weren't around. It rained almost every ruddy night
up the Christmas. Every one blamed me because (apparently) it never does
that on Guernsey! The icing on the cake (literally!!!) was when it
snowed on Good Friday and closed the airport for 4 hours. Guess which
was the only company on the island with the necessary equipment to clear
it all up, and like the rest of the island, we were on holiday and
almost all our staff had returned to the mainland.
