sleet... the following year those instantly recognisable weather symbols that we all love were introduced, but they didn't always behave themselves. but then, like many presenters, they became iconic and some presenters went onto much bigger things. maybe a few drier interludes over dumfries house in ayrshire. aha, there'll be snow. it was in 1985 when computers and green screen technology changed the landscape of weather forecasts on the bbc forever. and this is the bbc weather centre, where most of what you see on air is produced. on air today though is sarah and she's going to tell us a bit more of what goes on. so, sarah, what are you up to? well, a lot of things all at once. we're constantly watching the weather here. so i'm looking at the radar to see where it's raining or snowing, watching the satellite to see where the cloud is. and i'm looking at all the computer generated forecasts spat out of supercomputers. so we take all of that information and i'm just building my graphics at the moment.

alarming isjust how in the bbc weather centre. what is alarming is just how widespread this is apart from anything else, isn't it. yes, people live in mentioning the 2007 floods when we had the tewkesbury floods and the floods affecting sheffield and hull. the situation is nasty at the moment, a flooded river here possibly the river trent running through the nottinghamshire area. we do have other concerns. i think one of the big issues is that we have had three weather systems in quick succession. 0ne came through during the night of the first, another one storm henk that came through on the 2nd of january, something of a lull we had some showers that follow that on the third but then of course, over the last 2a hours we have seen another area of low pressure moving in across the atlantic and this has brought another dollop of heavy rain on that already saturated ground and really it's that succession of weather systems that have caused the severe flooding that we are seeing at the moment. now, in terms of rainfall, this month is only five

one of the warmest days of the week. and it must be very, very difficult indeed for those firefighters trying to bring all of this under control while wearing all of that heavy protective equipment. this, of course, is not the image that this tourist island wants the world to see at this time of year. this island should be full of holiday—makers enjoying themselves, swimming in the sea, enjoying the warmth of the sunshine. instead, so many of them have had to move away from areas like this in central and southeastern roads. it's notjust europe experiencing extreme weather events. across the atlantic in canada, three people have died in massive flooding in the country's east. the flooding was caused by the heaviest torrential rains to hit nova scotia in 50 years. three months' worth of rain fell in a matter of hours over the weekend, washing out vehicles, bridges and roads. with more on this, let's cross live to the bbc weather centre and sarah keith—lucas. keeping a close eye on everything
