Temperatures 30-40C above normal have been recorded in both Arctic and Antarctic. And yet some MP’s are campaigning for an end to the Governments pledge to achieve Net Zero by 2050. This is basically treasonable! Besides which the date should be 2025 anyway.

STORM FRANKLIN
Looks like a load of rain coming our way – and a bit of hooley. I guess it is winter so does not matter much to most of us – I wonder how farmers are coping?
WEATHER
Storms Dudley and EU NICE were not unprecedented. However this year has seen very mild weather so far. One frosty morning down here. It seems we may need to get used to storms being stronger rather than more frequent. Insurers are already talking of paying out millions. There would appear to be no easy solutions. Did London’s buildings cause positive or negative friction? Presumably studies will be done.
EU NICE
Windy and noisy here. Peak due at 11-12am. rather strange at 6.30 as it was rather clam with a few gusts. Main problem maybe the water level in the Bristol Channel with a full moon and a spring tide combining with the south-westerly gale forcing water up the Bristol Channel. The Environment Agency has prepared pumps out on the Somerset Levels.

WEATHER
