A short burst of heavy rain in Chalfont St Giles around 0615 produced
1.8 mm in a few minutes. The Davis VP shows a max rate of 7.1 mm/hr.
It's only single pixel stuff on the radar.

In Dorset we had a sharp burst or two at 1600hrs (but after I had
left work and the Davis VP) As it has only just started 'working' I
have yet to discover rate per hr. Any guidance welcome!

Robin, rain rate is displayed directly as default on the console in mm/hr.
At least it is on mine !

Oh yes! Very embarrassing. Trouble is, it is the room where I work BUT
I just do not have the time at the moment to explore its seemingly
large potential...
But I have sort of budgeted to have the same wireless VP here at home.
I hope to purchase after Nov 25th and spend some time in the Christmas
holidays getting to know my way around. It will be fun comparing two
stations just 18 miles apart (by road - not sure of the distance by
crow).
Incidentally, given the number of WRs on this group, is there a
suggested list of the readings I might 'post'? Some of them seem
very lengthy and there must be a method being used....
