Impacts and likelihoods of rainfall from storm Dennis
No one of course care’s about the minutiae of what the various warnings that were issued, in the final analysis it probably made little difference in alerting people to the chances of flooding, because the media have been all over this story for days, with flocks of TV reporters already vying for best positions along the river Taff in south Wales to capture all the details.

There certainly was a large area of rainfall accumulations of 50-75 mm and within that smaller areas of 75-100 mm in the 24 hours. No wonder there was flooding at Hebden Bridge.
Met Office extends climate data series

Dry, hot summers could they become the new ‘norm’ in Scotland? I don’t think so.
February fill dyke
A variable month as far as precipitation is concerned but at least the days are drawing out now.
