<p dir="auto">Rainfall 3hr totals area same as hourly figures on Wednesday and Thursday.  Hourly totals over three hours are therefore around three times that shown as three hour totals.  Which is correct?  If the hourly figures are correct I need to set up my flood boards.</p>

<p dir="auto">In fact the 1-hour precipitations stand for the last 3 hours, as shown by the weather picker and said in the FAQ.<br />

You can check it hour by hour on the Rain layer. So if you accumulate all precipitation in the 1-hour table you get an excessive total. I must admit it is confusing.<br />
I think the accumulation of 3-hour rain is more correct.</p>

Please could you confirm my guess.</p>

For example, on Thursday the 1 hour figures are<br />
2am - 2.3mm<br />
3am - 4mm<br />
4am - 6mm<br />
5am - 6mm<br />
6am - 7mm<br />
7am - 8mm<br />
8am - 5mm<br />
9am - 2.8mm<br />
10am - 0.4mm</p>
<p dir="auto">The three hour totals are<br />
4am - 6mm<br />
7am - 8mm<br />
10am - 0.4mm</p>
<p dir="auto">The three hour totals we can cope with, but the one hour totals would require setting up floodboards as the catchment cannot cope with that amount of rainfall over that period on already saturated ground.  So it would be nice to know which values are correct.</p>

<p dir="auto">When comparing 3-hour to 1-hour rain amount figures, keep in mind that these forecast panels only show rain amounts equal to or greater than 0.1 mm.<br />
This can therefore lead to seemingly inconsistent amounts as explained here:<br />
