WeatherAction predicts rain for Glastonbury & Wimbledon & everywhere else!So there will be more rain in London, which is not really that surprising... and worse is to come...: Further summer gloom was predicted today by WeatherAction, a long-range forecaster which claims torrential rain will strike the country at the end of June and the start of July. Piers Corbyn, a spokesman, said the Glastonbury music festival and Wimbledon tennis championships are likely to be hit by "exceptional deluges of torrential rain". AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! But some people are already suffering from flooding and that is really a misery! The Environment Agency placed two rivers on flood warning and a further 19 on flood watch. Worst hit was Oxfordshire, where fire and rescue crews were also called to a number of flood-related incidents in Thame, Chinnor, Wheatley and Witney. Tony Conlan, a forecaster at MeteoGroup UK, said that much of the country had been given a soaking as the band of rain moved eastwards. "It has been a very slow process and the rain has persisted over the same areas, and that is why we have seen some flooding. "The worst hit areas have been Oxfordshire and counties to the south but there has also been heavy rain in parts of north-east England, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire," he said. The Environment Agency said flood warnings had been put on the River Ray and its tributaries from Shipton Lee to Islip, Oxfordshire and The Emm Brook from Wokingham to Winnersh, Berkshire. There was also 19 flood watches on rivers in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the Midlands. |
