#HeadlineTherapy London weather: Flood alert as capital faces being deluged by month’s worth rain in just 24 hours

Thanks to Jacob Phillips for this Headline. In the Online Standard.

Well London, weather is happening, it’s been an unusually mild November and rain is forecast for the weekend. There’s going to be more rain in Wales than in London, so this weekend may not be the time to escape. Anyway you know the routine, soggy pavements, overflowing drains, feeling sorry for homeless people and their dogs as you walk by.

You won’t be able to see properly out of your windscreen on the perilous M4 when you return from that trip to Uxbridge that you have to make for work. You remonstrate loudly within the confines of your car at other road users and lorries who seem not to have noticed the torrential rain. You sit there silently in the traffic queue caused by an collision far off in the distance, regretting the decision to buy that soft top when the salesman warned you that winter was coming and that the all electric 4×4 was what you needed, you poo pooed him. Well it is winter now, the forecast is dropping temperatures and your little car is not very good on ice.

You make a little joke to yourself.” London will be like hell freezing over.” It makes you want to cry.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.
