The Mysterious Storm "Hannah"

Saturday was seriously wet and windy and although in the media this was put down to storm "Hannah" I don't think the storm was officially named by the Met Office. However, Saturday was our wettest day of the year with 14.6mm (0.57in) of rainfall but judging by the photos on social media of flooding around Yorkshire we got off very lightly.
Temperature & Rainfall Records for 16 March 2019
Fortunately, the rain wasn't particularly heavy, just persistently steady rain all through the day.
The effects of all the rainfall up in the Yorkshire Dales is now producing flooding in the rivers lower down the catchment areas.

Sunday has started off much sunnier and colder, although we've had a couple of showers, so March is managing to maintain its record of having some rainfall on all 17 days of the month so far. The forecast suggests that the next week or so should be much drier.
