Rain and floods...

[Lawrence C Leung]

Global warming MAY have some effect on this, but in my previous post,
IMHO, global warming would mean more severe (energetic, though a month of
rain actually is pretty energetic since a lot of energy is needed to move
all of that water up there in the first place. Hmmmm) weather. The UK and
Europe are affected more by the North Atlantic Oscillation, something
that climatologists had just started the beginnings of study in depth
over only the last 5 years or so (when it was discovered) so it's
patterns aren't as well know as the El Nino/La Nina patterns. Don't know
what it's doing right now, but I believe you should find some info on
this in a search of a local national weather agency.
