Weather websites: Last weeks rainfall in the Dales

Does anyone know of any websites where I can get hold of the last weeks rainfall or water levels for the Dales?

BBC weather show a rainfall pattern for the last week which doesn't really help...

Just be aware that the "Dales" is a big area! We have 3 people who contribute daily rainfall figures but all on the western side. There's currently no-one over on the Wharfedale side uploading rainfall data, or further north (say Sedbergh / Kirkby Stephen area).

Does anyone fancy doing this? It would massively improve resolution. Submitting data is incredibly easy and you just need a cheap plastic rain gauge (cost around a fiver - larger garden shops do them for measuring hosepipe sprinkler amounts).

If anyone is interested please send me a PM. You don't need to be a CDG member but CDG members will make very good use of your data. In fact a lot of non diving cavers use the site to try and predict whether a trip has been bombed out by the weather. (Two of the three Dales data providers aren't CDG members.)
