Rain is said to be the most important issue in England this weekend.
The Met Office says there will be heavy rain, strong wind and there could also be severe flooding.
The public are being warned about the situation and possible disruption caused by the wet weather.
So the Environment Agency is working hard with emergency teams throughout this week because of the situation of the weather. Emergency teams are prepared in order to attend people in risk.
It is said to be a dangerous situation for people going out so the agency's advice is it will be safer to stay at home until the rain stops.
In my opinion, what they say may be correct, but I can’t believe all those terrible things, at least in the way they are saying Maybe the weather is not the best thing in England. We have always said it isn’t very pleasant, but do you really think it’s going to be such a disaster in the way they are expecting it to be at the moment? I don’t think so.
Next week we’ll tell you about it.

Rain showers and flood risk all over England
Experts are warning of floods in the east and north-east of England with a month’s rain due to fall in two days time. The Environment agency warns that it could be the worst of the year.
It is going to affect mainly the east and the north-east of the country. The worst-hit places on the epicentre are predicted to have 60mm rain, which is a July month average of rain. Transport links and also property will be affected.
The environment agency is advising people to contact local authorities who will be able to provide sandbags and help. And also it is giving some recommendation to cope with the storm like moving the cars to higher places as well as valuable items.
The Environment Agency will provide information about the immediate predictions. Also it has opened incident rooms and has teams out checking on floods and is trying to reduce the risk as much as possible.
They do not want to worry the people but they should be careful if they are at risk of flooding , as a warning to be prepared.

Tears of the Earth
What next? Drought?
A severe flood warning has been issued in the UK. In the north and east of England, a month’s rain could fall over 24 hours. It is the worst of the year, so far. The rain rate is usually similar every month in the UK. So, heavy rain like this could be a big problem in this country.
Therefore, we have to prepare flood defensive systems to avoid damage from the heavy rain. Besides, we must check defensive systems for every disaster. There could be other weather disasters, like drought and hurricanes in the UK. We do not know which kind of natural disasters could happen in our country, in our city, and in our hometown.
Nowadays, weather is changing all over the world. On the opposite side of the world, there is strong drought for a long time. Every lake and river has dried up, and every fish has died. It must be caused by environmental pollution. So, the heavy rain like this expected in the UK seems like earth is crying.
To prevent the damage from the strange weather, we have to take care of the environmental pollution like global warming before checking on the disaster defenses. When we resolve the potential causes, the same situations will not happen anymore.

Severe flooding is to be expected in the UK
Grab your umbrellas and rain coats because it is going to rain quite a lot in the next two days!
I think rain is a lovely thing to have, but not in huge amounts like many weather forecasts are showing today; "There is quite a large area of rain edging in from south-east England and making its way westwards through the course of tomorrow. Much of England and Wales will be affected by rain." Says Nick Prebble in his weather forecast, it is expected that about 20mm to 40mm and up to 80mm of rain will fall in the following areas: Yorkshire, the North East, the Midlands, East Anglia and the northern half of Wales.
A month’s worth of rain is going to fall in the following two days which most certainly will cause floods, so make sure you leave your valuable belongings (electronics, paperwork, cars or pictures) in a safe high place away from the possible flood height. It is advised that people stay in their houses if heavy rain is to be expected in high amounts in your area, you never know what might happen while you’re away.
The environment agency had already sent teams to check the flood defences and now they are working on predicting which areas would be most at risk and most certain to be hit by the floods, so keep an eye on your weather channel to be up to date with the latest news.
