WINNERSH BBC News Berkshire Flooded Loddon Bridge park and ride stays closed A flooded park and ride site in Berkshire will remain closed for the rest of the day. The Loddon Bridge site in Winnersh, which has a history of shutting after heavy rainfall, has been affected again this week. Wokingham council said it hoped it would reopen on Saturday but with more rain forecast this could be revised. On Thursday, motorists across Berkshire endured travel delays after heavy rainfall caused flooding on some roads. By mid-morning the B4494 Oxford Road in Newbury was barely passable between the Grove Road and Love Lane junctions. Sandford Lane in Woodley and Emmbrook Road in Wokingham were also closed for a time. Flood alerts have been issued for Lower River Loddon, the River Pang and the River Blackwater at Swallowfield.

Not exactly a "weather post" but certainly the consequence of the weather ... BBC News Berkshire Thames river levels cause sewage pipe overflow A water company has warned that high water levels in the River Thames are causing sewage pipes to overflow. Thames Water is pumping out sewers but it describes as only a "short-term fix", as bad weather continues. Worst affected are Aldbourne in Wiltshire, Compton and Lambourn in Berkshire, Hambleden in Buckinghamshire, and Playhatch, Standlake and Carterton in Oxfordshire. Natalie Slater, from the company, said the Thames was "brimful". "The water levels are higher than our sewage network at the moment," she said. "That's not supposed to happen but what it means is that water is getting into the sewer pipes and it's filling them up, meaning that in some areas the network's struggling to cope. Our sewers were designed to take waste water away from homes and businesses, they weren't designed to take river water and ground water as well. We're making sure we have a team of standby tankers ready so that if we see additional problems across our network we can go out and deal with them and try and prevent any more flooding." She added that the company would look to implement a "long-term solution" once the rain waters subsided. Thames Water has spent £4.5m over the winter pumping waste out of sewers to prevent them overflowing. |

more on flooding concerns - Flood meeting over insurance concern in Pangbourne Residents in a Berkshire town badly affected by the 2007 floods have met industry representatives and politicians over insurance concerns. A deal struck with the government meant insurers continued to offer cover for properties in flood risk areas long as it funded flood alleviation schemes. However next month that agreement is due to run out and talks to replace it have not yet resulted in a new deal. Amanda Davies, from the National Flood Forum, said many people were worried. Ms Davies said: "We're getting hundreds of phone calls a month from people that are either trying to renew their insurance, or perhaps trying to purchase a property or sell a property, who are being told that their insurance premiums are going up or that their company no longer wishes to insure them. It's a very real threat at the moment." Dozens of people attended a drop-in session at Pangbourne Village Hall on Saturday, where they could talk to Reading West MP Alok Sharma and West Berkshire district councillor Pamela Bale. Matthew Cullen, of the Association of British Insurers, said: "We would like government to take some responsibility in a catastrophic event, because we think catastrophic risk actually should reside with the government, and reside with all of us." |

Here it is!! With a spring that is earthbound, where rain, snow and cold have remained until May like the longest winter ever lived it were, the ghost of the year without a summer flies for some time the head of the most pessimistic . Statistics and the values recorded by the thermometers this May in Galicia confirm that it is colder than usual for the time when we (two or even three degrees less difference from other years). Not to mention the blanket of snow a few days ago returned to cover some mountain areas Lugo . But how much more you have to wait to enjoy the sun and heat? The French channel Meteo ensures that there is a 70% chance that the absence of summer in Western Europe a reality. In one of his latest weather forecasts , the channel warns that the long and late Winter, which has led to the cooling of the waters in the seas, and the weak solar activity during the last few months could have a direct effect on the climate in Western Europe in the summer months. The French channel predicts heatstroke then short-term to be followed by violent storms until late August, when predictably return to normal. September and October will, according to his estimates, the warm sunny months. Neither myth nor legend was history 1816 The year without summer is not a myth or a legend: 1816 is known by scientists and historians as the "year without a summer", the "year of poverty" or "eighteen hundred and froze to death." There were several factors that led to that extreme climate crisis. The sun was then in the midst of so-called Dalton Minimum , a period of several years in which its magnetic activity was extremely low. Suceciera As with the period called the Maunder Minimum , which lasted from the mid-sixteenth to the early eighteenth century and in which tens of years accumulated very cold in the northern hemisphere when the Little Ice Age was in full force, the new solar minimum also brought some harsh winters in Europe and North America, spaces that are preserved observation and meteorological data. To this must be added the greatest volcanic cataclysm of the last ten thousand years, starring Tambora , a volcano located on the small island of Sumbawa (Indonesia). The eruption took place in April 1815 and its explosion reached such that its height was reduced by almost half (4,000 meters reaching the top is reduced to 2,850 after the cataclysm). According to the chronicles of the time, an intense ash predicted what would be one of the most violent eruptions ever seen by man. Several islands were covered by a blanket of ash several feet thick, immediately killing its inhabitants. Three days after the explosion a dense cloud darkened the sky of the archipelago, being visible even 300 miles away. The column produced by the Tambora was so dense that the temperature dropped sharply amid planet due to reduced sunlight, resulting in serious political, economic and social. |

Had a lovely day out with the family in Gullet quarry in Castle Moreton in Worcestershire. Stunningly beautiful. It was so good to feel the warmth of the sun. Long long overdue. Daib0 I really hope that French weather forecast is wrong. The thought of yet another dismal summer would be so depressing. |
