    About these figures

    • Readings come from the Environment Agency's rain gauges. Each reading is the rain in the 15 minutes before it.
    • Many gauges send their readings in batches every few hours, so the newest hours can fill in later. A gauge only counts towards a total once it has reported that far.
    • Heavy rain means 4 mm or more in an hour, the Met Office's measure.
    • Each gauge's page compares its last 24 hours with its wettest days in the Environment Agency's archive, which for most gauges goes back to the 1990s.
    • Readings are not checked when they arrive. When a gauge reads far more than the gauges around it, we mark it doubtful and leave it out of the county figures. None are doubtful now.
