Three months rain in a single week devastates crops in Lincolnshire, UK

Muddy field in Lincolnshire

Muddy field in Lincolnshire
A month of rain fell on brassica crops in Lincolnshire in a single day last week; growers across the key production areas are assessing the damage and the impact on consumers.

A spokesman for the Brassica Growers Association said "in a normal year we would expect around 50 mm of rain for entire month of June. Last week, crops waiting to be harvested were deluged with up to 80 mm of rain in a single day. Some farms recorded the equivalent of 3 months in a week. This has turned fields into quagmires, creating nightmare conditions for the harvest teams. Staff struggled through mud, up to a foot deep, to harvest crops and fulfil orders".

"Growers are used to dealing with the weather, but the conditions last week were well outside what we are used to" explained the Association spokesman.

Hilly terrain, high temperatures and strong winds have frustrated firefighters' efforts to contain the blaze
The still-raging blaze has devoured more than 5,500 hectares of land, forcing people to evacuate and killing animals.

Catalan firefighters are battling the worst wildfire the Spanish region has seen in 20 years as Europe swelters in the grip of an intense heatwave.

Hundreds of firefighters struggled to contain a wildfire in the northeastern region of Catalonia on Friday that has scorched more than 5,500 hectares of land and forced the evacuation of some 53 residents.

A day earlier, authorities warned that the blaze, which began on Wednesday afternoon, could easily devour 20,000 hectares if it was not contained.

France records highest-ever temperatures as Europe melts in heatwave

Hellish
France has hit its highest recorded temperature - 45.9C (114.6F) - amid a heatwave in Europe that has claimed several lives.


Comment: This is an astonishing 1.5 degrees higher than the previous all-time record.


The new record was measured in the southern town of Gallargues-le-Montueux. Before this year the previous record was 44.1C during a heatwave in 2003 that killed thousands.


Comment: Actually, the previous high was 44C, set in Toulouse in August 1923.

2003 was exceptional in that temperatures remained high all summer long, but it was never quite this intense. It is, however, forecast to cool off in Europe by next week...


Health Minister Agnès Buzyn has said "everyone is at risk".

France's weather service has issued an unprecedented red alert for four areas.

Those are all in the south, but most of the country remains on orange alert, the second highest level.

Papua New Guinea rocked with 2nd volcanic eruption within 2 days

Manam Island is one of the Pacific nation's most active volcanoes.

Manam Island is one of the Pacific nation's most active volcanoes.
Just two days after the sudden eruption of Papua New Guinea's (PNG) Mount Ulawun, a second volcano on the island of Manam also erupted on Friday, sending volcanic ash into the air and sparking concerns regarding already stretched emergency response efforts.

The 10-km Manam Island in PNG's northern province of Madang began erupting at roughly 8:50 a.m. local time, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Darwin.

Manam Island is one of PNG's most active volcanoes, as well as being home to roughly 9,000 people.

The eruption created a large ash cloud reaching a height of roughly 15,240 meters which has since dissipated, with a subsequent ongoing eruption continuing to produce an ash plume to a height of roughly 4,572 meters.

A Portland resident jumped in shock on June 26 when she captured a lightning bolt hitting a tree outside her home as thunderstorms rolled through the area.

The National Weather Service warned at 6.20 pm that strong thunderstorms moving north through the Portland-Vancouver area would bring "lightning, downpours, small hail and gusty winds in excess of 40 mph."

Becca Shelley said she was filming the storm from a doorway in the Gresham neighborhood of the city at 6.40 pm when the lightning struck the tree.
