As at 20.30 - still raining Laindon (here) 71mm Corringham - 76mm Hadleigh - 89mm Canvey island- 87mm This is a particular problem on Canvey Island as it is below sea level. The roads are under a foot or more of water as high tide was around 4pm so the water can't flow away. The main A127 is also shut. Maybe why there were yellow warnings issued Lawrence? Hi, Dave, Any ideas of final 24 hour totals? Those figures are impressive. I advised No.2 son (lives in Wanstead) not to go to the cricket yesterday but football instead (Wycombe away at Oxford). I see even some football was called off down there! Not much rain here during the day yesterday and Bishops beat Penrith. Best wishes, Ken Copley, Teesdale Hello Ken / Dave. My final 09z total is 32.3mm! Easily the most I've recorded - and more remarkable that it wasn't a thundery downpour. Looking back over the record going back to 1961 at City of London cemetery the event looks like it is in the 'Top 20' of rainfall events here. I am still processing this old data so may be further down. Looking in Gordon Manley's "Climate" this synoptic set up giving a deluge in the SE is by no means unusual... Without being too specific, Ken, where in Wanstead does your son live - our paths have possibly crossed. |

Lovely part of the world and so much to do and see around there. I obviously read your posts with interest, he is very impressed that I know what the weather's doing with so much accuracy!! Best wishes, Ken Copley, Teesdale |
