"Rain Rain Go Away Come Again Another Day"
This past week there have been rain and wind warnings for
parts of the UK. A man has died after being swept away out to sea in the UK as
heavy rain, winds and unseasonably cold weather hit this region. Two other men
were taken to a hospital after being washed from a pier by a large wave. This
weather is not normal for the UK this time of the year. It is stated that it
will feel “unseasonably cold” for the time being. Some forecasters have said
that some areas could see more than a month’s rainfall in one day. Train and
flight schedules have been disrupted from flooding and heavy rain. It sounds
like the UK just needs some sunshine. I’m hoping the weather will let up and
become more safe for the people who are living in the parts of the UK that are
being affected by this crazy weather.

Wow it's crazy that I had no idea that this was going on in the UK! I never even heard of someone getting swept away by the wind and dying. Crazy weather! I hope this will all soon clear up!
ReplyDeleteWow, this seems like something from a movie, not reality.
ReplyDeleteMother nature has her days, hope this kind of weather doesn't happen again.
Wondering if this is just some sort of phenomenon or if weather like this has something to do with human impact on the planet. I have no idea the answer to this but it is something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI knew rain has always been a common thing in the UK due to the oceanic climate. Since there is a maritime polar air mass that hits the UK Scotland and Ireland, rain is a very common thing and wind is not a uncommon as well. It very interesting though to see how extreme these conditions can become. Mother nature is indeed a powerful force.
