Here in Yateley (NE Hants) approx 85mm since it started about 3am. Not
measured in a proper gauge but in a straight-sided container. 50mm of
that fell between 9.30 and 12 noon BST.

Unconfirmed report of over 100mm from Mytchett near Farnborough. From
driving through it I'd say it has been even heavier over towards
Basingstoke way.

Easing off a little now (albeit still heavy) as the heaviest cell
pushes north very slowly.
