Thunder and 10 minute downpour giving 6.5 mm rain. probably the heaviest burst of this unsettled spell. Can we still use the term "cloudburst" which used to be the one used in my yoof to describe this sort of activity?

Yes - when does a shower become a cloudburst?!

About 20mm/hr would be my definition.
