As always records are made to broken! This little downpour certainly overflowed the gutters. There was not much else rain that night, the north westerlies were blowing (very strongly) and the rain shadow effect from Mt Lofty was strong. Rainfall is certainly a hard thing to predict.......

Downpour! 26thOctober 2001.

At 10:41am, the heavens opened for a brief period, recording the heaviest instant rate (mm/hour) recorded to date of 16.8mm. Just to give an idea, when standing in a recording of 9mm/hr you get drenched, quickly. Let your imagination do the rest. The graph below records the fall.
