Government embarks on campaign to raise awareness over weather threat as England remains in drought
The drought is also expected to have a large impact on flooding, with baked ground starved of rain all year less able to absorb heavy showers, meaning water runs off into properties or agricultural land.
Will Lang, the head of situational awareness at the Met Office, said there was a higher chance of cold, dry conditions from November until January but it was significant that the three-month forecast had not reached February. Lang pointed out the country had a relatively dry December and January but in February it was hit with extreme storms.
“That can in turn block the Atlantic rain-bearing systems reaching us in that first part of the winter. And then we tend to get a return to low pressures when that higher pressure fades, and we get all our wet conditions in late winter.”
