There's been a bit of localised floodi...Hi Jane<br />There's been a bit of localised flooding around Wakefield, all the usual places when we gets lots of rain, but Doncaster is about 20 miles south of us where the river Don has flooded. One major problem is that we build on flood plains and then act surprised when homes get flooded.<br /><br />At the moment we are on the cold side of the jet stream which is to our south so all the low depressions coming in off the North Atlantic are very slow moving. On Thursday the low pressure just got stuck over West and South Yorkshire hence 24 hours of almost continuous rainfall.<br /><br />Our temperatures have been well below normal too all through October and into November especially daytime temperatures. Wet weather normally brings us mild temperatures but not at the moment.<br /><br />I'm all for sharing some of our rainfall in return for a little bit of warmth.

Look at these...Those red red leaves are stunning. <br /><br />Look at these headlines: "One of the longest November dry periods in Northwest history" and "Increasingly unusual dry autumn conditions persist; fire season continues until further notice". <br />Seems to me that Earth's water budget is severely unbalanced!Jane Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016381279699618539noreply@blogger.com
