Default Thusdays Rain

Yesterdays storms in Maldon Essex produced 38.2mm in my Vantage Pro2 rain gauge but the 5" gauge only recorded 22.8mm. Rather disappointing as I have recently calibrated the T/B. At one stage I did see the rate at 238mm/hr! It was hammering down at that stage I expect the T/B got carried away and over did the tipping!

How rigidly mounted is the VP2, it is possible that vibration could have
caused additional T/B tips. Normally a 5" gauge collects more.
