Hi, All,
Further to my post yesterday about the amber MetO warning:-
Rain began 23:30 27th. The highest hourly actual according to AWS was 18.2mm
04:20Z-05:20Z. (Lots of 10min rates 35-40mm which mean little to me, surely
they depend on the interval each AWS uses.)
Total to 08:50Z 49.5mm and still raining but light.
Up to this event rainfall total for July just 6.5mm, lowest on my 43 year
record by a long way. Now up to 80% of normal in just 8 hours!
Wettest 09-09 ob since last September (73.3mm) and wettest in July since
87.9mm in 2009.
Best wishes,
Ken

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!

The 89.1 mm in Tideswell is the highest 09-09z total since we moved here in Jan
2009 and it all fell in only 8 hours.

4.6mm overnight Ken, on the edge of the amber area. Some showers this afternoon, but mostly missed us to the south as well.
