[WR] S.Essex, fast moving storm cells
Some fast moving cells moving up from South this morning, the second at
9.30 lasting about 15 mins. Lightning and cracking thunder with 9mm rain in 5 mins. Dave |

Just 3.3mm to 10am - disappointing given radar warnings of 60mm/hr intensity. Gives further weight against that story that radar can give a better idea than raingauge data

Any 60mm/hr intensity might easily just miss your gauge; or a shower with an intensity of 60mm/hr would give only 3.3mm if it passed by in 3 minutes and 20 seconds! Radar is not always a perfect guide but most of the time it's good. Stephen. |

The resolution isn't quite there to always spot the gaps in showers but I find magnified versions in Meteox etc. extremely accurate, especially with the timing. It was spot on here today and in fact the cell has stalled now so I would expect places to my North and East to be getting a bit of a deluge.I suppose it has the odd bad day with the wrong type of rain!
