Well, according to http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ ,
at 9:15, there are patches or 50mm/hr over south Devon,
and over the channel there is a 45 minute band of 5-10mm/hr
including a 15 minute band of 15-20mm/hr.

It's pouring here just south of Dartmoor and the wind is south west.
But a few minutes ago it was a deluge. I'm profoundly thankful that
we're on a considerable slope and surrounded by fields! I
gather there's a yellow weather warning out for Dorset so I hope anyone
living there doesn't suffer horrible flooding experiences.

According to raintoday, you got it in the neck at 9:45 and 10:15
(and you might again at 10:45). In between it merely rained!

Ugh yes! Sounds about right for timing. In between, I dash out to
feed the birds and fish and dash back again. The sloping paths are
running with water.

Having lived in Fenland, I'm acutely aware of contours and flooding!

I'm sure!
