It’ll come as no surprise that the Met Office announced today that December 2015 wasn’t just the wettest December on record, but also the wettest calendar month on record for the UK.
Copious amounts of rain fell during December 2015, as three named storms – Desmond, Eva and Frank – affected the UK and Ireland.
The storms not only brought heavy rain and flooding, but severe gales, which caused disruption to travel and power supplies.
Thousands of homes were flooded in Scotland, northern England and Ireland as flood defences failed to cope with the abundance of rain flowing through the river systems. -
