UK Is Set To Get Absolutely Battered By The 'Beast From The East'

Britain is set to get really cold and wet later this month. Rejoice.

Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Winter is coming, that's just what happens. It's get cold and wet', but I mean it's going to get really, really sodding cold and soon.

The Met Office has warned that for the last couple of weeks in October we're set to get floods, freezing frosts and colder than usual days with temperatures as low as -10C. So that's something to look forward to.

The colder than average weather is on its way thanks to the 'Beast from the East'. Yep, that's what they're actually calling it. And as well as that we've got Storm Angus on its way, which is a much friendlier sounding extreme weather condition, if you ask me.

Look, I don't want to alarm you here but Guy Shrubsole (is that his real name?) a climate change expert from Friends of the Earth told the Daily Star that he reckons the flooding will be so bad that it's going to put thousands of lives at risk and knock £1 billion off the economy. He thinks that the UK just isn't prepared for this and that the government hasn't really learnt its lesson from previous floods.

Let's just hope he's wrong.
