Weather - climate linked?

April 23rd, 2010 posted by enigin

I’ve been wondering of late what is happening with our British weather.  Firstly, we had the snow at the beginning of the year that brought the UK to a standstill.  Here at Enigin HQ, the majority of staff were stuck at home due to dangerous driving conditions.  Although it was fun for the first couple of days, its wasn’t so when supplies started drying up as the stores couldn’t restock their shelves.  

Apparently it cost the economy up to £690 million a day and up to £14.5 billion in lost business due to missed orders, lost trade from shoppers staying at home and the costs of workers failing to turn up. 

And just recently the volcano ash has affected all flights in and out of the UK.   Am I the only one thinking these natural disasters seem to be occurring more and more often?  Or is it just its always happened but the media expose it on a greater scale now?
