23mm here at Hilton, Martin. I noted how these showers were
running
along a line so you must have had a continous feed.

.... indeed Robin, though as I commented in the thread Thorney
Island, fortunately we had breaks in the train of notably vigorous
convective cells. Often in those situations the TCu/CB etc., is
obscured by lower cloud, but yesterday the individual cells could
be seen advancing 'up the line' quite clearly - good enough for me
to dash out to the shops without getting wet!

Well done Martin, there isn't a more sorry site than that of a Met
man getting soaked in an unexpected downpour :-)
