This is now the highest one day precipitation since July 7, 1991 when 82.0 mm was recorded at the Waterloo-Wellington Airport. The wettest day since 1970 was 89.8 mm on July 15, 1985.
The average monthly precipitation for July is only 92.9 mm and this morning we got more precipitation than we did in March, April, or May.
Looking at the GRCA gauges you can see that there was only a narrow path of really heavy precipitation with Laurel Creek getting 66.8 mm but Cambridge, Woolwich, and Conestogo only receiving around 27 mm. While Guelph only recorded 7.6 mm.

As I biked by Silver Lake this morning the boardwalk was flooded and you could not see the weir structure at the end of the lake.

"(beating the 59.2 mm on July 16th)"
What year was that record from?
My bad, the 59.2 mm was in 2005.
I have now updated the blog entry.
Torrential! The ducks were swimming their way across the bend by Keats Way and University Ave. W.
CKCO broadcasted a video of a water rescue from that morning in Kitchener. A small boy that got caught in the flash flood.
The chart gives accurate details about rainfalls record in various locations. This is good article for agricultural people.
