More weather on the way?

Well... it is that time of year you know! There is quite a bit of interest in the media at the moment about the next storm front on the way. We've been keeping an eye on it and while a picnic at the beach is probably not your first option, we don't expect this event to cause too many problems for our region. We will of course be keeping an eye on things as it gets closer and our duty officer system is always operational.

At the moment there are wind and snow warnings out for parts of the country and weather watches for rain but these haven't yet reached warning criteria. The ground is saturated from past events but river levels have dropped so there is capacity within the system to take some rain.

I think a warm fire and the Olypmic games are on the cards for the weekend.
