There is a flood alert on England and Wales due to a forecast for a once-in-a-50-years’storm that is heading for Britain. Starting of this evening of the 14th of June and after a longer period of dry weather heavy rains are expected which will cause heavy flooding. So the Environment Agency is warning everyone in the area of South-West, Wales and Midlands. All necessary precautions must be and are already taken. There have already been exceptional downpours in other areas and the heaviest showers are expected on Thursday night and Friday during daytime. Saturday it will be better with less rain and more sunshine.





Reaction:

Can you imagine, it is June and such a heavy weather forecast is predicted upon your country. I certainly do believe weather is changing, but what causes it?  Are we, the people, responsible for climate changes?

Such short period and heavy rains are more for warm tropical countries I would say.

On the other hand the forecast is told in a manner in which I almost would say it comes from a sensational newspaper. However they called it an unseasonable Atlantic storm so it is obvious it is not normal in this time of year.
