Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

In the South Indian Ocean:

Tropical cyclone Fobane is located approximately 649 nm south-southeast of Port Louis, Mauritius. The weak storm churns the central Indian Ocean, far from any land areas, but shipping lanes are threatened.

NewsBytes:

Britain - River Thames breaks records for water flows in January. The amount of water flowing through the Thames this January was the highest recorded for January since records began in 1883. New data from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology shows that the rate of water flow has now exceeded 275 metres per second for more than 50 days. Southern Britain is likely to have the wettest winter ever recorded.

Tens of thousands of homes are still without power as Britain prepares for yet ANOTHER devastating storm. A month’s worth of rain is expected in just two days as experts warn of more hellish downpours this weekend. A weather system over the Atlantic will send yet another violent storm - the eighth this winter - crashing into Britain from Thursday night.
