I was in Whitby 3 days ago for the very first time and the weather was glorious, 23 degrees, hot and sunny with beautiful blue skies, it was packed with tourists so it was buzzing, i loved it and can’t wait to go back. 👍
Beautiful place, humbling nature, stay safe all Knowing how all of this is on a cliff next to the sea makes it seem ironic Those shots of skinningrove make me itch to go fix up my outbuildings and sweep the street
Lol that's exactly what i said the the driver in easington when I made him reverse. I was in van CDENGINNERS. Been waiting ages to be on one of your videos . Well done mate. Love the vids
Second highlight is the comedy sign at Skinningrove, painted red saying Danger Falling Rocks, which has been almost been destroyed by i would guess, falling rocks....
Great vid Glen well what can i say ,it is summer is it not. i suppose we need to get use to this your to young to remember when a summer started in may and ended in september constant sunshine ish ,
Yes I can remember being in school in a winter uniform and my nan saying, never cast a clout till May is out and just longing to change into a summer dress. We had lovely weather in May.
I remember in the 60's and 70's the whole of the summer holidays was brilliant sunshine and all the kids were out all day everyday. And not one kid had allergies, or asthma or any other modern illness.
I remember those summers that started in May and ended in September, had a soft top car and could pretty much leave the roof off all summer 🎉 not anymore 😢
Flipping heck, not again? 😮 It will soon be the summer holidays and all the tourists will be coming too. Not having much of a summer this year are we. Hope you all recover soon and get a bit of dry weather before winter comes round again.
Hello glen how are you and your family love your vidio of flooded Whitby the sea is very ruff and it hasn't stop raining best wishes take care stay safe from Lynn x ❤😅😅
I think the year you came or the one previous was bad. Terrible flooding right through the Esk Valley that year. I recall Lealholme being hit very badly more than once.
The lack of cleaning out rivers ditches. You got drains getting full of roots all the bad areas need all the drains inspected for roots. In my area ppl can't dig out a area what will help the water flow faster as they will be in trouble it's like it's being forced on us by ppl with no idea about the local area it's a disgrace if U ask me
A warmer global atmosphere holds more water, more energy and that goes into intensifying storms. Right now the worlds average temperature is breaking records but the uk is currently trapped in a cold unsettled cycle of weather while Europe bakes. Isn't there a saying about one sunny day doesn't make a summer? Well a wet and windy day doesn't invalidate global weirding either.
Breaking records of a century and a half at best is neither here nor there in the life of the planet. Think of the poor People of the Roman warm period and the medieval warm period. They had to endure prolonged hot temperatures
@@chrisrichardson774 oh no, those poor dead romans etc. If you look back on the temperature graph you'll notice that the roman warm period, and the medieval warm period, hardly show up, whereas the current warming shows up dramatically. Don't confused local warming trends, events, with global issues.
The Roman warm period was 2 degrees warmer than it is today, the medieval warm period was 1 degree warmer than it is today. Of course the planet was even hotter before man even existed. I don't know why people of the green agenda hate to admit to historical climate change being more extreme than it is today.
No. It's not just summers. My local football club can't pay their players for matches being called off and our cricket club is going to fold for lack of match day revenue. The jet stream has lost its energy.
The jet stream derives its energy from the temperature gradient between the colder arctic and the south. As the arctic warms indicated by further melting of the ice cap, this difference has decreased. Historically the jet stream would shift northwards in the summer allowing anticyclones to build and pass Atlantic systems above us. Now it is much more unstable and flips North and South regularly. Hence the lack of stable weather in the summer's past as you describe. This is the new normal.
Was the car park flooded today Richard ?? July has been horrendous. June wasn't much better. May apparently the hottest on record and I don't recall seeing the sun. Feeling robbed of a summer.
@@thewhitbyphotographer The only reason May was warm and it wasn't that hot for me either just a few days at the end of May is because we had no May frosty nights as cloud cover kept the temperature up That was the only reason otherwise we would not have noticed anything warm really overall a poor start to Summer as i stated on Gavs channel its only the 3rd time ever May was above June in the c.e.t series 1749+1833 and now 2024 , we were due a poor Summer unfortunately by tomorrow we are halfway through this one keep your spirits up.
This what happens when we don’t have winters anymore, I’m seventy four years old and have witnessed many floods like this in the seventies and eighties. Unfortunate this ins’t caused by global warming 😂😂 like some would like to think!
@@thewhitbyphotographer. Thing is today many people believe it’s all down to Global Warming. It’s sad to think that Whitby has fallen victim to this again. The River Severn and the River Avon has caused many floods in the midlands and some coastal areas especially the Norfolk Broads. When we had winters a slow thaw controlled the water. These days they will be blaming St Swithin’s Day or global warming . Had to agree with those watching it was a nice piece of filming!
That is not “flooding”. It blocked drains and bit of a high tide. Where are the cars and building etc debris being scoured from the land? That’s flooding..
Is ok, I’m sure your climate alarmist friends just love this type of “climate disaster” vid of a few big puddles and little bit strong flow river. Keep up the good work…..@@thewhitbyphotographer
All dictionary definitions disagree with your statement; flooding: the covering or submerging of normally dry land with a large amount of water. The drains weren’t blocked, they were overwhelmed with the sheer volume of water. These rivers run downhill off moorland straight into the sea, not through floodplain, so tides don’t affect them, and the flooded roads are well above sea level. I guess you didn’t spot the white Audi up to it axles in water, (the water had receded when this was filmed), and the shed with water running through it, the doors ripped off and back wall caved in from the force of water. The exposed ironstone mine workings, (the last mine closed over 65 years ago). The 8ft deep ford at 7.44 that is usually a trickle (or dry) at this time of year 🤷🏼♀️ Just because flooding in this country isn’t as dramatic as flash flooding in other countries doesn’t mean that those affected aren’t impacted in the same way. If the water ingress was enough to write-off the Audi that’s just the same impact to its owner as it would be if it was swept away. A couple of inches of floodwater in a home or business is just as devastating as 2 or 3 feet.
