Believe it or not some people are putting our last 40 days of cold (over 1c below average) and wet weather down to global warming

because clearly a warmer world with melting ice caps will mean less water and cloud cover in the environment rather than more

Well I am currently in Hull, flood capital of England at the moment. There are thousands who are homeless living in caravans and temporary accommodation and the streets look a mess. The floods had some bad effects as well

Up in the north east we've had some lashes of rain but overall nothing really to complain about. I must be on high ground

Our game over there got postponed end of June. So it's on Sunday instead. We're still one point from getting off the bottom of the table after beating Bradford last night, but at least we're keeping our heads above water..

I had the pleasure of driving up to Hull on Friday afternoon...6 bleeding hours!

Gloucester has run out of water

I've spent some evenings mopping water from the basement floor this summer. And today a new heavy rain is expected, coming here from UK.

90% of my holiday has been rainy days, but not all. On friday I burned my back and face in the sun

I like this picture from the BBC.



Reminds me of this:
