Warm winds across the Atlantic always cause rain in this country. February March and April are traditionally wet, February often fall as snow. It is the 25 degree sunny March weather that is the outlier.
Anyway Greta needs to get on her yacht to Perth Australia where hundreds of planes fly daily to mines and wells full of people digging coal, iron ore, gold, nickel, silver and hydrocarbons. Not only extracting the stuff but using it too.

February was 92% wetter than normal with 32% less sunshine than average. The 25th of February was the wettest day with 2cm of rain in 24 hours, but still (thankfully) nowhere near the 5cm of 1990.
Rivers are overflowing their banks, irrigation ponds are ready to spill over and the farmers are pulling their hair out as their field are way too wet to use tractors.

Yep, all the drilling for spring wheat should have been done by now and it's getting to the end of the window to be able to do it and the fields still have pools of water in them.

I travelled down to Cambridge in mid-February by train, I was shocked along the way, never seen so many flooded fields and rivers breaking their banks, at one point both sides of the track was just water with trees sticking out.

I'm not even close to been from down that way, yet alone a regular visit to the SE, so wouldn't know what is normal and what isn't, just something I took away from the train journey there and back.

The trouble with the milder but wetter winters is the knock on effect both major (affecting crops, mass flooding) and minor.
Minor ones that are effecting me - Ridiculously long grass in my garden that is too wet to cut. Midges/Gnats that bite were out in late February where I walk the dog - Usually you don't see them until April onwards.

We need to say we are going to be swamped by aqua immigration arriving by airship.
Don’t get me wrong, the water is higher than a typical winter, it’s just not the highest it has ever been.
crops - yes, lack of frost/warming will mess up the local apple trees again, not sure if that explains the biannual fruiting some show, probably more aphids/bugs too.

what the eye doesn't see ... won't be able to see the pot-holes, but, you should have memorized them.
It's ok, they have plenty of water on site to deal with this incident yesterday:
Surprised no one tried to say it was an EV, that is the usual MO.
A14 petrol station fire near Newmarket caused by car crash
No-one was injured in the blaze, which started after a crash on the forecourt, a fire service says.

I'm not sure that would have worked, most of Britain learns the hard way, look at who we people voted for instead of who we should have had.
Then you have the people in power.

The whole of the urban transport cycling to work thing breaks down, if it goes rainy ... but maybe the Dutch pioneered that problem.
Saturday was first cycle shorts day, but Sunday it was a gamble on the weather radar site for return trip from swim pool - driving there half defeats the point.
