"This 6 hour rainfall of 128.9mm or 5.1 inches which was recorded at the Botanical Gardens was the highest recorded data analysed for Georgetown since 1892... This morning's rainfall had an intensity of 21.5mm per hour, compared to 6.9mm per hour in 2005".Where I live some 10km away the rain was heavy but not unusual for the season.
