In terms of actual totals there is a steep gradient just to my north (Wanstead). Some totals:

Woodford Wells: 24.4mm
St James's Park: 21.2mm
Wanstead: 14.8mm
Laindon: 14.8mm
Canvey: 13.8mm

I see there are a couple of new PWS in Epping reporting 28.2mm and
24.1mm respectively

My 13.3 mm recorded in West Fareham is consistent with your map for
the period shown. My Davis was a bit low at 11.8 mm.

If the UKMO released 5 minute data the estimates would be even better. I can never understand why they don't show accumulations graphics in the forecast in high rainfall events.

Because they would scare the **** out of everybody. Sometimes the model goes
way OTT. As for 5 minute radar data, too much money would be lost if they
gave them away. Anyway 5 minute data are old hat, what you want are the 1
minute single site data which have been available internally for years.
