So, hello and welcome to Labour NHS Chaos Part 3.
So, I've been doing some research into UK winter predictions for 2024-2025.
So, early forecasts suggest a complex and potentially dramatic season,
driven by global weather patterns based on meteorological models.
Climatologists predict a colder, wetter and snowier winter than in recent years.
So, let's have a think.
So, more heating, more crashes and broken legs, hypothermia.
So, it's not looking good with La Nina potentially playing a key role in shaping the seasons.
Here's what you need to know about what lies ahead.
So, a nice snowy path, difficult to cross to get past, impossible for people when it refreezes and impossible for cyclists.
And then this is the time when you need to visit the people to make sure they're okay.
So, it could be heavily influenced by the La Nina event.
So, it's the cooler part of El Nino.
So, it's the southern oscillation.
So, cooler than average sea surface temperature on the Pacific Ocean can alter atmospheric circulation,
bringing colder and wetter conditions to various regions.
So, with wetter, we can look at flooding.
So, local authorities need to get a grip with ways to alleviate or eliminate flooding risks.
So, it could strengthen during late 2024 and into early 2025, increasing the likelihood of colder conditions across the UK.
Winters have historically been associated with increased chance of cold spells and more significant snowfall, i.e. colder for longer in parts of the UK,
difficult to get to, chaos on the roads, basically, and then chaos with probably electricity lines,
which a lot of people are doing, so they cut off the gas because it's cheaper to not actually have to pay the rental of the service.
And you just have electricity.
But if that goes, then all they probably got left is coal.
But I don't know, not everybody has a coal fireplace.
So, it's predicted to see colder than average temperatures, particularly during the core winter months of December to February.
The presence of a weaker than normal polar vortex could exacerbate these cold conditions.
The polar vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding the Earth's poles.
When it weakens, cold arctic air can spill southwards, increasing the chance of cold snaps and heavy snowfall in the UK.
So, you're going to have that temperature of what is it, minus three from memory, and you're going to have that split.
So, probably from Manchester upwards, it's going to be minus three, minus four, minus five, minus six, minus seven, minus eight,
reaching Scotland, and then you're probably going to have the temperature of sort of zero to minus three the other way.
But, I mean, of course, there's going to be the snowfall.
Early snowfall forecasts indicate the UK may experience above average snowfall during the winter of 2025, particularly in Scotland,
northern England, and mountainous regions.
While southern parts of the UK typically experience milder winters, this year could bring more widespread snow,
with several predictions pointed to potential snow events, even in southern England.
However, high altitude areas in Scotland are expected to bear the brunt.
While snow is anticipated to play a major role this winter, rain and storm activities are also expected to be more frequent,
especially during the early and late parts of the season.
High pressure systems, typically in La Nina, may push the jet stream down further north,
allowing for more wet and windy weather. Coastal regions and areas exposed to westerly winds may see increased storm activity,
with periods of heavy rain and gales becoming common.
Risk of flooding in low-flying and river-adjacent areas could rise due to increased precipitation,
particularly in the western region in the UK, therefore is essential for residents in these areas
to be prepared for potential disruptions caused by winter storms.
So I think the Environment Agency, together with local people and the local authority,
need to probably ascertain the trajectory of that water when it floods,
maybe clean all the drains, desilt, move all the relevant stones,
maybe put some stones so that you can channel the water.
You could also rent these particular plastic barriers, which work wonders to actually channel the water,
and potentially you need some sort of check to actually review the meteorological information in light
and report it directly to the council to actually take immediate action,
and maybe to actually have an element in the news to actually properly relay information about flood risks,
which are of more detail.
So in conclusion, the winter 2025 is shaking out to be one of the most challenging recent years for the UK,
with the likelihood of colder temperatures, increased snowfall and heightened storm activity,
it is advisable to prepare for a more severe winter season than usual.
Leneza's influence combined with a weak polar vortex and shifting atmospheric patterns
suggest that the UK could experience both frequent cold spells and significant winter storms.
Whether you're a homeowner, traveller or winter sports enthusiast,
understanding these forecasts can help you plan ahead for what promises to be an eventful winter.
Stay updated on weather forecasts and take the necessary precautions to stay safe and warm this winter season.
Now we need to get this information, if they don't know it already,
circulated through the House of Commons and all local authorities.
So we've got a few months to actually do all we can to actually lower the risks of flooding,
to do all of the relevant repairs to our roads, streams, etc.
And also make sure that the vulnerable in society have enough clothing and food.
There could be the necessary to have a potential of a La Nina grant.
So that everyone is, I think it's every four or five years, we have a special payment because,
and then we probably need to have a special payment in light of the average temperature.
So those people that have to live with minus eight should get more than those that will probably live within an average of minus four.
And I think there needs to be an element of understanding that
it's very difficult for the old and infirm to actually add to their prepayment meter because they've got to venture long distances.
They can't just sort of get somebody else to do it.
They probably don't have the mobility or the transport or the costs together.
A camp there and back. So we need to have a joined up approach to get this done in a different manner, especially over the winter period.
We also need to make sure that we can flex.
I think the whole principle is that if the temperature is less than four degrees on average, maybe for the average forecast or in reality it happens,
we need to to make these payments.
I mean, in the past they have paid out and then clawed back.
So maybe it's an element of paying out and clawing back.
But people will change their ways of spending their money.
And the economy will lose out only for a need to make sure that all our vulnerable are looked after.
And we really need to find this small amount from this so-called black hole, this deficit black hole from somewhere else.
I mean, it's a small amount.
I mean, we don't want to borrow, but they've lost interest rates.
And they need to clear this up over the fullness of time where individuals can be ascertained and they currently have the payment that just automatically goes out.
You can just have the system where you can have a nice little query to say those people who have money from another pension together with this pension are over this particular ceiling.
Don't get the money.
So effectively, if you've got the state and your own and let's say you are have more than 30 grand, you don't get it.
And then we can wind it down where we need to make sure that people are not worried and have anxiety on a daily basis where most of them should be in enjoying their twilight years, not worrying about what they're eating.
And if they are unwell, trying to get better.
Because I suppose, as I said before, this isn't just about people who are retired.
This is about young people and people that are approaching retirement age, which have a major illness to overcome.
And we do not want to tarnish what we have achieved, probably a little bit unnecessary as part of the pandemic to then just essentially during the pandemic saving all of these later life citizens
and impact people who are educating, who are trying to get employment so that they can have a meaningful and enjoyable life,
as well as those people whose businesses have crumbled to be in a position where the government with this information are with want of knowledge, effectively killing people.
So we need to determine whether this needs to be something that is further discussed in light of a very cold winter 2024, 2025.
And in light of money being clawed back in the future with people who can afford it over a very generous threshold.
But the computer systems need to be updated so that we're not in this position so we can target particular individuals.
It is a complete mess, which has been running for a long time, both in business, they're not bringing themselves up to this generation of IT quality.
And it's the same with the NHS. They're still running on archaic computers and systems which have to be done manually, which could easily be done in an automated fashion.
So if you enjoyed that, please subscribe to my channel. Please can you subscribe to allow other people.
So please share to allow other people to subscribe to this channel and share it in all your social media channels and groups so I can get this out there.
So we have a voice to get this changed and overturned so that you can have some sort of retrospective where people that shouldn't have it pay it when we get the IT systems up to scratch.
And we make sure that young and old can have dignity in the UK.
Also, please note I am looking for a sponsor. So I've left the details in the show notes.
If you want to donate, I'm going to leave the details in the show notes. But it's buymeacoffee.com slash boil the ocean.
So thank you very much for your time. Hopefully this was very interesting.
Please leave comments about how you feel about this particular thing.
And this particular one is a four parter, maybe even a five parter. So keep listening.
Thank you very much and see you on the next one. Bye.
