Just WHERE is all this rain coming from?

[element]

It seems to have been raining in Blighty, off and on, through most of September, and now into October...

I went past the river Adur today, and it was nearly lapping over the top of the levees...

Is it just the usual autumn rainfall, or is it exceptional?

Any meteorologists onboard tonight?

Gracias

Global warmmin?

Or global wetting?

Blame the French. Always seems to work.

Ice caps are melting....all that water has gotta go somewhere. Maybe.

As well as all the rain,there are some very high spring tides at the moment,so the Adur being a tidal river, will be much higher than normal,it does this half a dozen or so times a year,mostly near the Autumnal and Vernal equinox.As for the rain,I agree with Mr.Leekbrookgull and blame the French.

el neno or something like that, all to do with the jet stream and its position.

Very American, I think we call them river banks over here!

You probably drove past at a high tide coinciding with the river turgid with last months' rainfall.

I think it's a regular occurance in spring and autumn
