I saw the flooding there on the news. When we had the heavy rain and flooding 10 years ago it was as bad wasn't it? I remember seeing the water pooring down steps that looked the same as footage they showed this time. But please don't remind me of flooding. It was so bad here in 2012 and 2013 when I flooded both times. So glad we managed to move.

We had a couple of days of quite heavy rain but no real flooding. But on thr first day of the rain Southern water did simmering really nice. They released all of the sewerage into the sea right in the middle of Bognor Regis, so the water is now complete pollutated and dangerous to swim in, and it stinks of human sewerage too. So yeah, not happy. We were going dien to the beach last afternoon each day when the tide was low so Tom could go swimming and have some fun. Now it's warmer again we can't use it.

But flooding was to be expected after months of such dry weather. The ground being so dry can't absorb any water.

The government, environment agency and water companies need to seeies start getting their act together. They have know for many decades the climate was changing, 26th droughts and flooding becoming a more regular issue. Instead of starting to investment to put infrastructure in place to combat or even completely illiminatevthe issue they allow greed to create a culture of denial that climate chafe was really a thing, or just ignored the long term in exchange for short term profit.

The reality is we will most likely be seeing drier warmer summers, milder wetter winters, and random seasons. The levels of water in our reservoirs will therfore drop every time. European countries are rehung the same issue. Portugal and Spain are nearly or of water completely in many regions causing huge issues for farming. The solution for the UK in terms of water is contingencies. We need to build desalination plants addons the coast that can be activated when water levels reach a certain point, so it doesn't happen. That would also mean far less water from sources would be taken for drinking water so rivers wouldn't suffer as much.
