Anyone from abroad seeing those -at the drop of a hat- weather warnings would think Britain is in serious trouble. I like "surface water flooding". I have a sneaking suspicion what they mean here is that there will be puddles, some of them quite big, something that few could have anticipated. They are turning us into frightened dimwits. This specifically does not refer to rivers flooding, which is definitely something worth heeding, but is covered separately as Flood Warnings. Dr Foucester went to Gloster In a shower of rain He stepped in a puddle Right up to his middle And never went there again. He wasn't told, you see. It must have been dreadful in those days - you really had to look after yourself. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

Anyone from abroad seeing those -at the drop of a hat- weather warnings would think Britain is in serious trouble. "The public should be aware of the possibility of surface water flooding and some disruption to travel and outdoor activities." There, that's it. No mention of getting injured or having to take any action, it is, after all, just a yellow warning. A warning of the possibility of disruption and according to various accounts here, the forecast was pretty much spot on. I think it is you Lawrence, who is being melodramatic. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |

I like Lawrence, but I have become fed up with his seeming inability recently to post about anything other than how dreadful the Met Office is. I don't want this group to become effectively a group in the uk.politics.* hierarchy under another name. As the group's much-ignored charter says: "Any discussion of climate issues should be from a scientific standpoint and not a political (or environmental-activist) one." http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.sci.weat...uk.sci.weather -- John Hall Johnson: "Well, we had a good talk."
