UK Fears Flooding Over Winter

After the wettest April, May, and June on record, followed by more rain yet in July, September, and October the United Kingdom is concerned about flooding over the winter.

Concern is specifically high for western, northern, and south western England and Wales, where winters often bring a lot of moisture.

The ground is completely saturated and rivers are at their peak levels, leaving no room for any further rain.

Due to this floods are a heavy concern, as even a light amount of rain could lead to it, with moderate rains ensuring flooding.

People can sign up for flood warnings, from the government, which can be sent via email, text, or a voice mail to their land or cell phone.

So far over one million people have signed up the alerts.
