240MM of rain in one day!!!

Sunday, 20 April 2008 21:49 PM

It’s been raining practically the whole day yesterday.

I just looked at the Hong Kong observatory station and in just one day, there was close to 240 MM of rainfall.

To put this into perspective: 240 MM of rain is just one third of the total annual rainfall in Holland dropping down in just one day! Even compared to the some of the wettest days in Hollands twice as much water fell down here in Hong Kong yesterday.

The garden outside our house turned into a lake resembling the Amazon delta…
