pecially when, as they are dealing with electrics, they have to switch the power off so many times that (as was the case with me) from 11.27am GMT on St. Valentine’s Day until 1.53pm GMT on February 24th my wifi ceased to exist and as such completely ruined my tallies for February (during which time we had temperatures reaching 70°F, setting a new February high).
Those highs produced another problem as Saddleworth Moor (for the second time in less than a year) erupted into flames and whilst that fire was put out in less than 24 hours, the Farmer’s Guardian newspaper had it as their lead story following a conference on the subject of the climate that noted “rivers are below average” and that “concerns were growing” over the 2019 season. This was proven here as throughout February we had only 38mm of rain (1½ inches of rain) on seven days.
