Record levels of rain this April will have
little affect on hosepipe bans, Synergy Client Solutions understands.
Synergy Client Solutions, a customer
acquisitions company in Bristol had recently reported on the hosepipe bans
facing much of the UK so when they first read that April would be the wettest
month on record they had assumed that our drought worries would be over. Apparently not
so.
Some areas of the UK are expected to be hit
by a month’s worth of rain in just a few days and the Met Office has issued
severe weather warnings across some areas of southern England and eastern
Scotland. Synergy Client Solutions would like to echo the warning issued by a spokesperson
for the Met Office who said, “The public should take extra care and be aware
heavy rain may lead to localised surface water flooding and poor driving
conditions.”
Synergy Client Solutions understands that
the extreme weather is to include thunderstorms, heavy snow in the Scottish
mountains, flood warnings in Devon and tornado clouds have been spotted in
Manchester, Durham, East Anglia and Lincolnshire.
Experts however continue to insist that the
downpours will have little effect on the drought in Britain which is the worst
since 1976 when standing pipes had to be installed in towns throughout the
country. The Environmental Agency has said that because the soil is so dry only
steady rain during the winter will have an effect and wash into rivers and
groundwater.
A spokesperson for Synergy Client Solutions
said, “Residents might find it frustrating that with all this rain, drought
measures are still in place. Unfortunately it simply isn’t enough at this stage
to have any substantial effect. We can be pleased that we won’t need to get our
hosepipes out to water the garden but should stick to the instructions
given to us to help prevent further measures when summer finally comes around.”
