@tomstandage @burritojustice "was closed" doesn't tell us anything about underlying climate or weather; did models/policy/decision change?
@MorlockP @burritojustice Yes, no doubt the explanation is a policy change, and I am imagining the huge floods across England at the moment!
@tomstandage @burritojustice I didn't say it was; I said that "days closed" is not a useful metric. "actual sealevel" IS a useful metric.
