Quite coherent band that is quasi-stationary. Goodness knows what the
rainfall totals are like in the region. No wonder there's a severe weather
warning out.

Hi, Richard,

WeatherOnline has Milford Haven 48.0mm and Trawscoed 45.0mm so far.

I would imagine the mountains have much more, but these alone are
mammoth totals for a rain-shadow man such as I am.

From a very wet (for us!) Copley, 7.6mm overnight.

ATB,

Hello Ken

I would imagine locally there's much higher totals (at a guess - unless of
course MH and Trawscoed are beneath the band). Line convection bands usually
have a width of 1-2km so the intensity of the rainfall probably isn't being
properly resolved by the 5km radar.

Unfortunately, I still have not bought myself a rain gauge but I do live on
the side of a mountain in West Wales and we have had a considerable amount
of water fall on us. Quantity wise, it is more what I would expect in
November/December than summer. There has been flooding (according to my
informants) at lower levels and part of the A40 near Llandeilo was under
water at one time.

It is now dry again.

Very wet in Cornwall. I recorded 39mm in Penzance, 38mm at Camborne, 61mm at
Cardinham. Quite a bit of flooding, man-hole covers lifted, mud accross
roads etc

Fairly sunny by 11:00, and temperature up to 21 degrees by 13:30.
