The showers really chained last night, with some areas seeing a lot more than others within a relatively small region.
For example, Boscombe Down, north of my home location, saw just 2mm betwen midnight and 6am, while Thorney Island, near Portsmouth, saw 10mm. Hurn Airport, south of my home location saw 6mm.
My home location saw 7mm and to be honest I find Hurn's reading a bit on the low side based on the radar sequence for overnight, which shows hardly any let-off in the moderate to heavy rainfall during the 00-06UTC period.
Also, another river level record has fallen in my local area, with Ringwood Riverside Terrace at 1.26m as of 4am, putting it 0.06m above the previous record. It's probably risen a bit further since then. The flooding across the plains must be staggering... and I imagine Moors Valley is more or less un-traversable.
