More rain forecast

[Leroy S. Mort]

Official estimates show a record 340 millimetres of rain fell in the Lake District and northern England in 24 hours.

That's over 13 inches. A true gully washer.

Storm Desmond. Now we are naming just any old storm? In two years will we have Squall MARTY? Computers will have to name the tornadoes. They are come and gone very quickly. Soon it will ba all too confusing and dust devils will have to be termed with 7 digit numbers. I guess giving a storm a name makes it more dramatic and the TV people can get all breathless in their panic induction techniques and maybe get 4 more people to watch their advertisements. I guess it helps push the Climate Change bogeyman. After all it is indubitable that the incidence of named storms has increased steadily in recent years.

For the metric challenged, 340 mm (34cm) of rain within 24 hours is over 13 inches. That was a genuine deluge. But for perspective in comparison to what one of our coastal areas might receive during a hurricane (tropical cyclone) it's probably about average.
