Last Thursday we experienced a fall of "yellow rain", dust from the plains of Spain and perhaps also from the Sahara Desert, part of a "Spanish Plume". This was an unusual draught of hot air from southern climes which, when mixed with our cooler martime airfloow caused some incredibly dramtic weather in several parts of the country: thunderstorms, flash-floods, golf ball sized hail and even a tornado.
More evidence, should any be needed, that our weather is changing; specifically that our smmers are becoming wetter and windier.
Yet again the need for some really comprehensive flood protection to be constructed in a range of vulnerable locations around Britain has been underlined.
It is the duty of a government to protect its citizens- so get off your asses and start doing it!
