@Henrynorthover “People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spiders’ webs. It’s not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles and the grit of cobblestone in her hair. And she just spat out a tooth as she got back up and went for another go.”

When the dark nights come, our family talk about what it means to be afraid of the dark. And we remember there is always light. Look for the light, and we will find a way.

@HannahBarraclo8 It is Hannah. I hope one turns up. M and S super thick thermal tops with fleece lining are also useful, and their thermal knee high socks are good for keeping legs warm, and so are sockshop Legwarmers. I’m sorry you are cold.

@bynyamyn No, this data is not online, but the weather radar network is. Birds are also visible on that network, as can be followed here https://t.co/Os7CN8Rn5O

Chances of keeping warming to 1.5°C target are gone.

We’re on track for 3°C by end of century.

Current global commitments would mean 2.8°C

For avoidance of doubt that would result in economic, environmental and societal collapse.

During extreme weather events, we provide sandbags for residents to protect their homes from #flooding.
Please be considerate to others who may need to protect their homes. Emergency sandbags are available to protect habitable areas of your home, rather than gardens or garages.

The UK is getting wetter mainly due to more intense rainfall rather than more wet days.

When it rains, it rains harder.

Ordinary weather setups produce extraordinary amounts of rain.

Climate change in action.

And it will get worse.

Parts of Poland recorded two thirds of its average annual rainfall in the last 3 days.

For context, that would be equivalent to Worcester getting 500mm.

The severe local floods of 2007 resulted from 100-140mm.

On Friday, I caught the train from Exeter to London, with the aim of working from the office before heading off for a weekend with Scouts. As I was looking for a seat, a gentleman was walking through the aisle towards me, so I moved out of the aisle to allow him to pass. 1/11
