I know from Glen that his home town of Sheffield has been pretty hard hit by flooding recently. In Niigata now it is rainy season, which means that it should rain everyday for a month (so far not true). Now rain in Niigata is bad. It comes down so hard and fast that of you're caught out in it you will be soaked to the skin in about 30 seconds. (I have not yet tested this statement fully, just got caught out for 10 seconds and prorated).
My drive to work this morning was hampered by a flood under a bridge - I let a little Kei car go through first but despite some steam off the engine all was ok. Bear in mind that because all the country side in this area is rice fields water is managed very effectively (rice needs a specific depth of water to grow effectively) so we don't expect the floods we get in the UK, but believe me I have never seen rain like I have in Niigata!
