First post on this forum for some time, the weather for me has been getting me down and rather miserable, moving on from my own thoughts and behaviour though and it really is shocking at how wet it has been. From what I read though, it sounds like this could be the new norm as the climate change slowly creates a warmer and DAMP atmosphere.
What I really worry about it the eco system and out food growth, I am a lorry driver and its shocking to see just how long so many fields have sat under water. rivers have burst there banks and simply stayed burst. Even part of the A14 near Newmarket has almost been fully closed off for a couple of weeks due to flooding and bad drainage, only there struggling to empty and fix due to yet more rain. Farmers are really struggling this year, they couldn't get all the fields drilled when the rain arrived late last year and now its time to be planting them with spring crops, still cant get in. I have drove past freshly ploughed fields that look so odd, rather than the usual neat ploughed lines, just looks like a field of sloppy manure/mud.
The looking for anything cold is hilarious and non existent, the modelling thread is a joke and all the forecasting seems to be as bad as I can ever remember.
The country really could do with a solid month of no rain minimum.
