I seem to have missed a couple of bits of HTML code in the above posting It should have read :-


I've just been looking at the interweb for any information about weather conditions and the state of rivers. The latest bunch of floods this last weekend have been further South and West of Warwick.

Warwick Folk festival's own site has got a page for late news, including weather conditions. The say that so far there is not a problem with the festival site. http://warwickfolkfestival.co.uk/news.shtml. Their weather report is dated today.

The Environment Agency has a Flood Warning page for the Midlands. At time of this posting the River Avon between Rugby (Quite a long way upstream from Warwick) and Salford Priors (Downstream from Stratford-On-Avon) is on flood watch. Of course that doesn't mean that there will be a problem at Warwick even if there are some flooded locations on the Avon.

Of course, it isn't necessarily local weather conditions which cause the problems. A number of people including performers didn't get to Saddleworth Festival because they were stuck in the floods a hundred miles south of Saddleworth.


The County Council has a list of road closures some of these are water related. http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/newsstor.nsf/publicbycategories/355CA38797FB3B358025731F003E60A1?opendocument.
They also have flood information for the County http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/newsstor.nsf/PublicByCategories/908F42BCD1CE02E28025731E0053CA40, although most recent info is from Friday. Don't know how frequently it will be updated during the present dodgy weather.

Quack!
