Nottinghamshire was hit so badly yesterday because it was simply in the line of fire, it was the focus of where the showers were.
The showers ran northwards then re-built from behind. The airflow behind the first lot of showers reinforced the rain to the rear of it and therefore reinvigorated the scattered showers during the latter part of the day.
This is why half of the month’s rainfall fell in Nottinghamshire between 5 – 6pm.
