Rain began 23:30 27th. The highest hourly actual according to AWS was

me, surely they depend on the interval each AWS uses.)

Looks like the new reed switch in my rain guage is working. B-)

Started here about 0200 and stopped about 1100. 49 mm total, peak
rate was 14mm/hr at 0648. I agree the rate probably varies from AWS
to AWS. Think mine does a bit of basic maths on the time interval
between tips. Each tip is 1 mm giving 60 / t = rate where t is
interval in minutes. Bit of electrical interference (thunder
storm...) and it records stupid rates, 250 mm/hr!
