More than a month's worth of rain was recorded as falling on Jersey at the weekend.
73.2 millimetres was measured at Howard Davis Farm in Trinity between 7pm on Saturday (7 September) and 3pm on Sunday (8 September)
Around a third of that (24.6mm) came down in just one hour, between 7pm and 8pm on Saturday - as thunderstorms hit the island, causing flash flooding.

Almost 47 millimetres was recorded at the Maison St Louis Observatory.
The average rainfall for the whole of September is 65 millimetres.
Jersey Met and the government warned of the torrential downpours on Friday, so that islanders and authorities would be prepared.
The Infrastructure department had teams out over the weekend, and emergency services, honorary police and parish volunteers were also monitoring the impact of the bad weather.
The Minister, Constable Andy Jehan, took to social media to thank them:
Big shout out to the @GovJsyIE #Teams who have been out overnight and this morning as well as Thx to the Parish Volunteers who I know have also been working hard #VolunteeringMatters pic.twitter.com/yzdpdSWHs5
