Has summer finished already? The distinctly autumnal mood to the weather has come from the jet stream driving south of the UK, leaving us exposed to an endless train of depressions rolling in off the Atlantic. BUT .....There is ray of hope later this week, with the return of drier weather as a ridge of high pressure moves in.
Some media, though, have already pounced on the idea that this could soon become the wettest August on record. True, rainfall in England and Wales has been above average, but it is a long way off breaking the August record. That rainfall record was set in August 1912, the wettest August for England Wales, and for good measure it was the coolest and dullest August too.
The climax came towards the end of that month when a catastrophic deluge swamped East Anglia, with more than 7in of rain falling in a day on Norwich. Big trees crashed down, rivers burst their banks, and streets turned into rivers, trapping thousands of people in their homes — some 15,000 people suffered damaged property, 2,000 were left homeless and four people died. “It was pitiable to see these poor people struggling with their adversity, and to think of the cheerless night they must spend amid their sodden surroundings,” described the Eastern Daily Press.
Norfolk was cut off from the rest of the country as 52 bridges collapsed and roads and railways vanished under floodwaters. Crops were waterlogged and the “new-fangled” tractor proved useless. And a large area of East Anglia stayed underwater through the winter as well.
