The 12 hours from 6 pm to 6 am UK time (13 or 11 on the nights the clocks change). Before 6 am the night is not over, so this page shows the night before it until then. Figures come from every rain gauge that is reporting, and are worked out again every hour, so they firm up through the morning as late readings arrive.
How this is worked out: every rain gauge that has reported in the last two days is read for the 12 hours from 6 pm to 6 am, UK time. A gauge with at least 90% of its readings counts as a full night; rain means 0.2 mm or more, one tip of a tipping-bucket gauge. A gauge with readings missing that still recorded rain counts as rain (at least that much); one with readings missing and no rain, or none at all, is unknown, never dry. The Environment Agency's quality-checked archive gauges (about two months behind) are not counted. A gauge measures one spot, and showers can miss it. Worked out again every hour.
