Lundun is having another serious flood, Camden & Primrose Hill, a week after the last one. Locals blame the drains & lack of cleaning. As if the rubbish the locals throw in the street isn't washed away to block in a deluge.

Towns in Belgium are seriously suffering right now, while Germany is still counting the dead.

Hunan province in China - they had cars stuck in a 4 mile tunnel because the tollgates were still taking the money slowing the exit as the water, within minutes, reach to less than the height of one car below the ceiling. They don't know how many deaths.

I have been re-iterating the obvious for years. Hotter world, more evaporation, bigger deluges. We see records broken, flood after flood.

We shouldn't call it "Global Warming" because it misleads people to enthuse about glorious summers and mild winters. Weeeeeeeeeeeeell - there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. But there is all the water you can have with it.

No I don't have a solution, but I have bought 2 of these necklaces** to cope with the excess heat we have experienced recently. I don't look cool, but feel it.

** UK Catters can also get them in Home Bargains.
