Persistent blocking high pressure systems since February are the cause of our dry conditions.

The persistence is a result of a slow moving and wavy jet stream.

It’s also brought very wet weather to southern Europe. Matter of luck where you end up!

Wow, so https://t.co/oS9v0CwkDv is now live for all English water companies. And I think it's fair to say England is looking rather sh*tty today...
An important platform... well done @AlexGLipp for making this happen.

Climate change is bringing more regular extreme weather events.

⬆️ Last year we saw over 40% more rainfall than average, causing widespread flooding across the country.

This #FloodActionWeek, make sure you're prepared for flooding: https://t.co/YN4PB5zlAu

Another scale busting map!

September rainfall for the UK.

Huge variation but parts of southern England seeing over three & a half times their average rainfall.

Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.

☔️ September 2024 has been the wettest September on record for some counties, according to provisional Met Office statistics.
