Raindrops....
Well its 11am Monday, and the rain has finally stopped. In about 18 hours, for which it never really stopped raining at all during that time, somethere between 25 and 40 mm (1 to 1.6") fell on the local area, depending on your source; officially its the former, but 2 unofficial sites, one about a mile away and the other some 10 miles distant, say the latter.
It has been a while since we've had that kind of rainfall in a similar short space of time, normally 40mm is about 2/3 of the month's total at this time of year. The ground seems to have soaked it up like a bone-dry sponge, as the month of April saw very little rain all month, less than 10mm (0.4") across the whole 30 days.
Of course, I could imagine there'll be a few rivers in the area rising quite quickly over the next day or so.... The Severn will be a worry for a while to the likes of Shrewsbury, in the Midlands, I'll have no doubt about that.

In answer to the question left in my own blog - it varies, there's a large bank of questions. Remember that they aren't looking for specialised knowledge so much as they are looking at your attitude towards the job. They want to know if you can communicate effectively, if you've got a decent dose of common sense, things like that. To be honest, the best advice is just to be yourself and not worry over it. :) Good luck!
