Water covered the streets in Swanage, Dorset amid Storm Alex this month

The UK had its wettest day on record earlier this month - with enough rain falling to fill Loch Ness, according to the Met Office.

Data shows Saturday 3 October - the day after Storm Alex - brought the highest volume of rainfall since 1891.

An average of 31.7mm (1.25in) fell across the whole of the UK, beating the previous record of 29.8mm (1.17in) seen in August 1986.

To illustrate the significance of this milestone, the head of the Met Office's National Climate Information Centre said the downpours were enough to fill Britain's largest lake, which has a capacity of 7.4 cubic kilometres.

Mark McCarthy added: "In climate statistics, 2019 will be remembered for possessing the UK's hottest day, whereas 2020 will be associated with rainfall records.

"It is exceptional to have 30mm to 50mm or more of rain falling so extensively across the UK - from the south coast of England to the north coast of Scotland - in a single day."

Ice Age Farmer Report: CORN SHORTAGE: Grand Solar Minimum kills crops (New study)

The media is blaming shortages of corn on the virus, but both common sense and a new study out of Canada attribute massive crop losses to the fact that our sun is dropping into a modern Grand Solar Minimum. It is this that is driving the timeline for totalitarian takeover and lockdowns, even when it seems less than ideal -- the technocrats have a deadline: the food is running out. Spread the word and start growing food today.
