Exactly the sort of weather that was promised as a result of global
warming.

I thought that global warming forecast warm wet Winters and hot dry
Summers, so they got that wrong in most respects.

It forecast extreme weather.
Weather is generated by temperature differences.

Yes, precisely. The meteorologists (as distinct from the Daily Wail
and Murdogians) said that the one thing we would guarantee was less
predictability, but their best guess is that the UK would get colder
and wetter.


Which is why now it is knows as Climate Change.
I do wish people would check with responsible web sites such as NOAA and NASA rather than just glibly repeating what the Watermelons propaganda says. There is no proven correlation between weather events and global warming, indeed the number of land fall hurricanes has considerably decreased since the 1950s. The main cause of such events are the El Nino and La Nina events currently we are in a declining La Nina period.
