> Southern Britain hit by high waters with 72 flood warnings in
place, but Met Office warns worst is yet to come
>
> A village was cut off by flooding over the weekend as the Met
Office warned the south of England to prepare to be battered by
rain and 90mph-plus winds.
>
> Outbreaks of heavy rain will edge into the far south-east of
England on Monday night before clearing north-eastwards – then a
“nasty storm” will develop later in the week.
>
> The Environment Agency has already issued 72 flood warnings,
with residents in the South West told to prepare for
“significant coastal flooding” amid heavy rain and strong winds.
>
> Met Office yellow warnings have been put in place across much
of southern England and Wales ahead of Storm Ciaran, but they
are likely to be escalated in the coming days once confidence in
the modelling improves.
>
> Cornwall was one of the worst hit counties on Sunday after
heavy rain and strong winds hit the south-western tip of
England.
>
> Truro, Falmouth and Looe were among the towns hit by flooding,
according to Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service.
>
> It followed strong rainfall on Saturday night in the
north-east of the country, resulting in the closure of the main
road in and out of Lanchester village, County Durham, because of
severe flooding.
>
> Chris Almond, the deputy chief meteorologist for the Met
Office, said: “Winds associated with Storm Ciaran are likely to
gust to 80mph along the south coast of England, with a small
risk of somewhere exposed seeing 90mph, and winds could even
gust up to 50mph or 60mph further inland.”
>
> Kate Marks, the flood duty manager at the Environment Agency,
said: “Significant coastal flooding is expected in the south
west of England today due to high spring tides.
>
> “It is also probable there will be minor coastal flooding
impacts along parts of the south and west coasts of England.
>
> Weather is only expected to worsen
>
> The weather is only expected to worsen as the week progresses
with rain warnings in place until Wednesday and the Met Office
yellow warning in place until the day after.
>
> A “deep area of low pressure” is set to arrive on Thursday,
which has been named by the Met Office as Storm Ciaran,
threatening strong winds and heavy rain to southern parts of
England and Wales.
>
> “Heavy and persistent rain will fall on to already saturated
ground, bringing a risk of further impacts such as flooding in
areas that are already struggling to clean up from the heavy
rainfall we have seen over the last week or so.”

Approaching Storm Ciaran may bring highest winds in France and
England in decades, forecasters warn
--- Quote ---
>
>
> France, England and countries across western Europe are
bracing for what meteorologists warn could be some of the
highest wind speeds the region has witnessed in decades as Storm
Ciaran hurtles toward coastlines and is set to make landfall on
Wednesday evening.
>
> Residents were battening down the hatches in northwestern
France as the national forecaster Meteo-France warned of
exceptional winds of around 90 miles per hour (145 kilometers
per hour) blowing across Brittany, Normandy and Pays de la
Loire. Winds of up to 105 miles per hour (170 kilometers per
hour) and waves almost 33 feet (10 meters) high are expected in
the country's northwestern tip.
>
> The Channel Islands and the east of England are set to bear
the brunt of the extreme weather, although much of the south and
southeast will also be pummeled with heavier-than-normal wind
and rain.
>
> "Blowing debris is possible, you could see damage to trees,
maybe tiles off roofs and damage to buildings," said Rachel
Ayers, a senior meteorologist at the Met Office, in an
interview.
>
> The last comparable high winds to hit the U.K. were during
Storm Eunice in February 2022, but Ayers said this storm could
cause more damage.
>
> In a press release published online, the English Environment
Agency urged people to prepare for "possible significant inland
flooding" on Wednesday,
>
> "It looks like a once-in-every-few-years storm for the U.K.
and France," said Bob Henson, a meteorologist and science writer
with Yale Climate Connections, but could turn into "a once in a
generation storm," he said.
>
> Rising sea levels due to global warming also lead to more
damaging storm surges, she said.

Mystery of African elephants dropping dead unravelled by
scientists
--- Quote ---
>
>
> The cause of mysterious mass deaths of African elephants has
finally been unravelled — and scientists who authored a new
report say that the outbreaks could be more likely to occur amid
conditions created by the ongoing climate crisis.
>
> Thirty-five African elephants in northwestern Zimbabwe dropped
dead under baffling circumstances between late August and
November 2020. Eleven of the massive herd animals died within a
24-hour period.
>
> “They died over a very narrow window. That’s one of the most
enigmatic parts of the whole puzzle. That many animals dying
quite close together but not right next to each other over such
a narrow space of time. It’s really to my mind, rather unique,
certainly in this part of the world,”
