☔Just a couple of days after #StormBert, #StormConall arrived & brought a further 50mm rain to an already saturated ground.
🚂Impacts: Mostly minor, however roads and rail lines flooded due to the additional rain which followed Storm #Bert☔

🌧️Only a month after #StormAshley, #StormBert arrived; a deep Atlantic low-pressure system with extremely wet and windy weather with around ¾ of November’s average rainfall🌧️
💧Impacts: Sadly, 5 people lost their lives & the @envagency.bsky.social recorded approx. 680 properties flooded internally

November Performative chai lattes and scattered snow showers give way to a softening of heart accompanied by strengthened resolve. Head down and get through the winter. Amber weather warning for unsafe spaces. A century of negligence roars through basements, fridge bobs downstream. Wading knee deep, breeched wellingtons, pull branches, leaves, plastic sheets, a tyre from the culvert until meltwater returns to its safer path. Boats rescue beloved dog and panic sets in as realisation hits, there are no roads out today. Knock after door after knock after ashen face heartbreak tale of damage, there are not enough mops in the world to remove the mental stains and so we listen. Crises continue to vye for priority but fighting a century of oppression I choose a moment’s respite, hear a friend sing on TikTok. The frivolity is jarring but what a radical act it is to make art in the face of adversity, and so I write, stitch and forge onwards, counting tables for the craft Fayre.

Feels like we're having a storm a week in Wales, so here's a poem about that.

#StormDarragh #StormBert A minor casualty of two storms in the space of two weeks. Hadn’t even begun using the greenhouse 😖😞
Storms and flooding will increase as the climate and winters warm. Storm Bert caused severe damage and deaths in the UK.
With rising temperatures, storms will become more intense, leading to faster-moving water and greater flooding.

A line chart showing All-Island metered electricity demand throughout the day for six recent Saturdays, from November 2 to December 7. Demand curves for the two Saturdays with storms (Storm Bert on November 23 and Storm Darragh on December 7) are bolded to show differences in storm impact and partly illustrate the speed of restoration efforts. (Footnote reads "Source: EirGrid")
Customers without power due to #StormDarragh went from 395k at 7am yesterday down to 120k at 8:45pm. During #StormBert, 60k customers were without power at 9:15am and by 5:10pm, that went down to 11k. All-Island demand curves below show differences in storm impact. Kudos to all restoration efforts!
Today #StormDarragh seems to be bringing lashing rain to Edinburgh, whereas two weeks ago #StormBert brought a downfall of snow. This was the scene on York Place around St Paul's & St George's Church #AdventCalendar

According to Nigel Farage we "cannot afford net zero". Try telling that to those affected by #StormDarragh and #StormBert
#NetZero
For #stormbert there were power cuts to the north of me, for #stormdarragh there are power cuts to the south of me. Keep an eye on the outage map: powercuts.nationalgrid.co.uk/power-cut-map/
Having lost my car to #StormBert , I have decided not to wear my hat today.I can't be doing with back and forth with my hat insurers. #stormdarragh
If it doesn't include Storm Ernie there will be trouble

Wetland over-spill after Storm Bert.
Building the bank up with clay obtained from excavations on-site for our butterfly bank.
Collecting the clay.
The finished bank, it will look at bit odd without any vegetation for a while, but it should do the trick!
🌧️ Pleck wetlands had a little accident the other week after #StormBert, but we have freed its drainage pipe from accumulated vegetation and built up its lower bank with clay. This should prevent overflowing in the future. Thank you again to our volunteers for willing to get mucky on this one!
