This dataset shows rainfall data from 6 rain gauges located at various locations across the city. Please note The siting of the gauges is not to Met Office standards (e.g.. maybe too close to a wall), which may not give an entirely accurate reflection of rainfall. The exact location of these gauges is not released. Measurements are in millilitres. It is recognised that there are inconsistencies in the data in respect of site readi...

The Rainfall API provides access to these rainfall measurements, and to information on the monitoring stations providing those measurements. It is compatible with (and integrated into) the API for water level/flow readings.

This dataset has been released as a one-off extra dataset to supplement the existing rain gauge rainfall data for the FloodHack16 hack event held at ODI Leeds on 11 & 12 March 2016. Information Every time 0.2mm of rain has fallen, the time stamp is recorded.  This means that the closer the time stamp, the harder it is raining.
