Default Early warning of floods N England & N Ireland

Met Office have put out a warning of possible flooding for later this
week, and looking at the surface chart there seems some similarity with
the Easter 1998 floods for Northampton - converging fronts lying east to
west
though wet conditions previous to the downpours occured there. We had a
call of a possible 60mm on the Countryfile forecast, it will be
interesting to see where the highest totals will be.


Flooding has already been severe this afternoon in parts of NI, with
Belfast worst affected. New items he
