(22 July 07 - RV ) The weather is once again making headlines this summer season.
More than 100 people have died in floods and landslides in China, and tens of
thousands have fled their homes in the east, where dykes are in danger of being breached
by a swollen river. The death toll of a heat wave in Eastern Europe has risen
to 9 this week, while Helicopter and boat crews yesterday rescued hundreds trapped
after storms whipped through northern Europe. Gareth Harvey is a meteorologist
with MeteoGroup UK. He told us more about the weather situation in Britain.
