Therese Coffey rain
Best for Britain shared a video of Therese Coffey discussing the fallout from the savage weather brought by the storm.
They shared the clip and wrote: ‘Environment Secretary Therese Coffey on why better assets were not in place to help residents hit by floods: “Most of our rain comes from the West. This was rain coming from the other way.
“We don’t have quite as much experience on that.”‘
Coffey also said: “One of the things that happened particularly with Storm Babet is that we are very good with the Met Office and the Environment Agency’s flood forecasting at predicting weather normally because most of our rain tends to come in from the west. We’ve got that pretty much down to a fine art.
“This was rain coming from the other way and we don’t have quite as much experience on that.
“Therefore our accuracy of predicting where such heavy rain would fall was not to the same degree as if it had been.”
