So, the wettest place is Shap at 2. 84" ?

In truth, I would bet many places in the Western Highlands, Lake District and Snowdonia have experienced more than twice that amount, judging from what ive seen on the radar,and pix of floods across the UK.

The Shap total over the 21 hours ending at 3pm this afternoon is 141.4mm (5.57 inches), and the result of between 6 and 9 mm having fallen each hour since about 7pm yesterday evening.

The rainfall radar accumulation estimates on Newweather are currently
showing over 250mm in the last 24 hours for many high level places in
Western Scotland and the Lakes, with over 200mm already in parts of
the Lakes in the last 12 hours.

Even low level Lancaster may have had 60-75mm so far but I've no idea
how accurate the radar estimates are.

Where did you get a 1500 UTC total for Shap from?
It couldn't be from it's SYNOP because they only report rainfall at main hours.

I've been downloading data since midnight and have quite an area of white pixels indicating accumulations of over 150 mm up to 1630 UTC.

The SREW41 collective issued hourly by the Met Office is a collection of hourly
rainfall totals from numerous sites across the UK, including Shap. Only
available on a subscription basis, though. It costs me something like £500 per
annum but I use the data for work purposes.

I got the figure by adding up the hourly totals that are available via
Meteogroup's Weathercast 'Weather stations' page.

I'm getting confused here - I thought I'd fired that question at Dick Lovett - you don't have another alias do you!

I wrote an application to display and graph data from SREW41 before I took early retirement, and have been fighting a losing battle to free-up data like that and SFERICs ever since.

I think it contained a lot more than the 158 UK SYNOP stations, but not the hourly totals from the EA gauge network, which is of course, not freely distributed either.

I suppose that £500 annual subscription they levy for it, means that they'll never free it up either, which is a great pity.

That's very clever - and it doesn't cost £500 a year!
