Late season snow makes great conditions for glacier mass balance, and for for skiing. However when combined of high winds can lead to an unstable snow pack. Awful news coming out of Zermatt regarding the avalanche between Rifflehorn and Rifflehaulp 💔

Thanks to improved computing power, tasks required to deliver river naturalisation have become easier. This course introduces simple 2D modelling through a set of hands-on exercises to develop flow simulations across a varied fluvial landscape. fba.org.uk/shop/courses

Ok Northern 🚆 you’ve now cancelled all my trains Preston - Bolton - Manchester but your app isn’t letting me refund my unused ticket. No doubt the response will be use delay repay and you’ll offer me5% instead of the 100% you should offer.

Bragging about this? What an unbelievably bad start to 2024…

253 current Environment Agency flood warnings in England due to storm Henk raining on saturated catchments. Our engineered rivers & catchments result in water getting to places we don’t want it quickly & not enough stored in places that can cope.

Educate. Action. Results.

Temperatures in France soared as high as 35.8°C. It was the hottest temperature ever recorded in October in France.

To reiterate - it was 35.8°C in France in OCTOBER!

“NFU calls for strategy to deal with flooding on productive farmland”

Super, there is a strategy….! We’ll welcome the discussion and action 👍 National Farmers' Union

Lots more “bursting of banks” across the media today.

Rivers behaving badly…?

Or is it a product of our own doing?

What the AF is this? No no no!!!
This must end immediately. Surely Zermatt - Matterhorn you see this a problem?

Interesting that Brechin just been told to evacuate due to the river South Esk flooding, yet it's not at risk of flooding according to the SEPA flood map. A month of rain on the way in hours....

More rainfall impacting people. At what stage will we use up to date science in our flood prevention?
