This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Water, Water Everywhere...
Well Goff you will live in Henley "in" Thames And I don't want to depress you further, but you may be finding the other property is going to be renamed as Hey "in" Wye according to the flooding predictions.As someone who can now claim to own a riverside property on the Thames - it wasn't riverside until a few days ago - does this mean that my property value has increased by 50% ?
Rod mentions this in the article. "Central government has not helped by subsidising insurance in such areas." Have they? Why don't I know about this! I'm paying 2K year for insurance, all down to my postcode as usual. Am I eligible for a subsidy, if so who should I apply to?
One of the bigger questions maybe, whats caused this. Apparently its a kink in the jet stream high above the earth. This kink is sucking all the low pressures coming across the Atlantic right over southern England. Normally they sweep past the country and disperse them selves elsewhere over a wider area. So, is this kink just an anomaly? Will it appear next year or any other year in the near future? Be interesting to see what the scientist make of it but, it could be just a one-off !
Regarding the flood, I expect there will be a lot of talk, and not much done. It will go away, the clean up will happen. The Government will be seen to do some dredging on a few rivers where the flooding is worst. Purely because this will be popular as the electorate seem to think it is the only answer and it is probably one of the cheaper options.
Would love to know where Rod Sturdy gets "highlighted the reality of climate change"
So are you in DeNile too Davie? Coz we need a new Environment minister

It's not a one off. Remember last Spring? We had freezing North Easterlies for week after week. The position of the jet stream(further South than normal) was blamed then as well.
