And there is the evidence for that claim. When the Beast arrived on Monday I started noting the temperature (in °F) and as you can see on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the trend was clear, but last night that trend suddenly reversed. That was the influence of Emma as it cut off those keen easterly winds and today’s maximum was the highest it has been for really quite some time. That does not mean that we are out of the woods as now thanks to Emma, there is severe coastal flooding in many parts of the UK.
