Precipitation Totals Estimates from weather radar

Due to the New Year’s revelry we were enjoying until 6am this morning, this story of torrential rain & flooding across N England totally escaped me. Overnight 30 to 50 mm of rain fell quite widely, with more that 80 mm on the Pennines in the 15 hour period until 09 UTCUTC Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). on New Years day, resulting in local flooding across the region.
