Sun, moon and Earth
Despite around 71% of the UK being under a drought warning, the UK's Environment Agency has issued 13 flood warnings during the last day or two.
The warnings are actually for coastal and estuary areas, thanks to the very high "spring" tides which may cause over-topping of sea defenses.
The sun, moon and Earth are still more or less in line following Wednesday's total eclipse.
If you're near coastal regions in the UK check the UK Gov website for flood warnings:

Leaving aside the emissions (bad enough), the following bears re-reading
‘However, EA documents show this new process “periodically paused”, with benzene consequently emitted directly to the air. The documents also show the EA was aware of this problem in 2023, but did not investigate until this year.’
#Criminalnegligence anyone? Should the EA and Huntsman both be in the dock?
