For me, who lives in Northern Norway (near Bodø), it's so weird to see how warm and dry most of Europe is, because so far, we have one of the wettest Augusts since they started recording such. It has also been unusually cold so far this month. Today it's actually quite nice weather, but the temperature is only 12c.
Up there, right on the Arctic Circle, you're getting the Scottish "summer" weather, the Scots have been getting the English summer weather (warm drizzle) and until last weekend, we in England were getting the French weather, while France was getting the weather for Southern Europe and Italy and Spain were getting the weather for the Sahara.

Furthermore, the CCP attempted to cover up the first outbreaks of COVID-19, and kept it hidden from the rest of the world for as long as they could until it was too late for us to do anything to mitigate any potential damage and chaos.

You find a point where the canal is wide enough, and do the equivalent of a three-point turn. Sometimes you can do this at a junction; if you have a short boat then you might be able to turn in a "slightly wider than normal" section, but in most cases it's a dedicated turning point called a "winding hole" that are placed at various intervals along the canal. These are typically a triangular-shaped widening of one side of the canal; you can turn the bow into the point of the triangle, and then bring the stern around. The term "winding" derives from the days before powered boats, where crew would use the wind blowing on the side of the boat to their advantage in turning the boat around. Hence the word is pronounced such that the "i" sounds like "window" rather than "light".
They have places called “winding holes”, which are specifically for the purpose of turning boats around. There’s a location of a couple below, just so you can see how they look: ///transfers.clocks.loudly ///pasta.duty.posed Other than that, there are junctions and corners that allow boats to turn. ///agent.deals.length ///spray.likely.trains Hope this helps. I’m not a boater but I do use the canals for kayaking.
So but they don’t show the canal without water? What kind of interview is this where you film people talking about something happening some meters away and you don’t get to see it? How can I trust this?!
Thanks for your comments - I was the reporter. The reason the canals have water in is they do everything they can to keep water in - diverting from rivers. The trick is to KEEP it in to stop canal walls drying out and crumbling, people falling in to an empty deep, steep sided canal, to keep fish, plants and wildlife alive. So they use every last inch of water in reservoirs to feed canals and close locks which use up 200k gallons of water each time they open and close. That’s why the canals are closed - to maintain life.
@@nicholasgarnett It's interesting that you make no mention of the fact that 90% of the canal network is actually open to navigation. But I guess that doesn't make for a good story does it?
I HAVE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION -- LOADS OF TIMES - OBVIOUSLY YOU WONT GET A REPLY FROM THEM " -- I THINK THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE CULPRITS WAS BLACK .
It’s not heatwave that’s caused this, it’s the prior 8 months of below average rainfall. Also this is such a small impact compared to Europe - some holiday makers have to go the ‘long way round’. In Germany, freight can barely navigate the Rhine as it’s so low. This has a massive impact on trade - the river is like their M1. Of course the irony is a lot of the great barges that use it are carrying coal!

@@Garfie489 not by digging , or drilling it is possible to make water. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The process to combine hydrogen and oxygen is very dangerous though.

3.03 is that alex horne?
But New Zealand Nelson is flooding
Other countries are talking about heatwave drought food shortages etc.. boating holidays ??? Lol
How embarrassing to watch this.. how many millions of people over the world experience drought and cannot supply theor families. These ignorant people are complaining they can't "have a holiday" shut up!!
fit them with caterpillar tracks, they can drive through the mud easily
Any tribute to Thomas O’Halloran on the Beeb? If it was the other way round i'm sure there'd be lots of videos about it.
This Year, 2022 Heatwave.
Unfortunately, when water is scarce then water for purely recreational purposes must be sacrificed first.
No. I want to use my water slide.
Yes. Make beer and coke with rest of the water. Govt. is low on cash.
This is just England
therefore the earths inhabitants are burned up and few are left isaiah 24 v 6
Still open in Scotland 😎
1:19 why say ‘metres’ in a country which measures distances in miles?
Because meters is the more logical unit to be using that the majority would understand.
Plus 200m isnt a good conversion
This gonna blow your mind but it’s possible to know both
Because in the UK we commonly change between imperial and metric, depending upon the circumstances and use-cases.

Here flood some province
BBC news has always been great
Great at abusing children.
A suggestion for people whose canal boats are stuck: put wheels on them.
Sounds like a Viz tip to me.
Why did we sell off our water?
Deep drilled water resuvaers ,pumps and delivery pipes, should be part of the infrastructure.
Yes but as always governments don’t prepare, instead they scaremonger and hope we stop the problem by not using water so they don’t have to spend the finances they need to do ….
God dam water gyps!

They should cover the boat with tin foil or space blankets temporarily
Can't they pour cement in call it a road
When the oceans etc get hot, it causes heatwaves, mega storms and on the other hand huge rainfall in parts of the world.
Oh, that s so nice, i would like to do that too some day. I guess one may rent a boat? Or it is only buy a ticket for a ride?
Yes, you can hire a narrowboat. You can hire a boat on many canals. It's not cheap but it's worth it. I hired 2 boats before I bought one. Some cities also have boats you can hire for a day and some even have ferry trips.
The Canals shut in 1976 also. Once every 46 years. Everyone has had time to prepare for that would imagine.
That's the hot summer I recall the most... It felt never ending.. every year that went past afterwards..that had a little sunshine I was saying to myself..at least it's not as bad as 76.. 💐
@@Leoviliti1 The other odd thing that I remember is that it snowed in June for about 10 minutes while I was hay making in 76!
We then never had rain until the end of November and had to have a water bowser on standby on bonfire night at the Young Farmers bash.
@@martinhambleton5076 I remember seeing sleet...
So it actually snowed in some parts? ..
Whereabouts was you situated ..north or south ..
You don't have to be specific if you don't want to be . 💐

Is this brown stuff water?
I think it's time to do some kind of old fashioned investigating reporting into why the maintenance work isn't being kept up to standards? Is the government planning to get the canals and the canal boats because it will be a lot of money to make it electric. City won't pay for the charging stations. Story time bbc or have you forgotten how to do that ?
floods now
EXTREMES IN CLIMATE CHANGE HAPPEN
Head for the rivers!
Looking for a team of strong blokes. Please call
Like the guy said it's nothing a bit of cash can't fix

Well now you see the result of your wickedness. You sell water to make big profits when it was provided for all to use. You can sell it but what will be left when it is gone? Hard lessons must be learnt.
Bull ... Summer is hot - Winter is cold - greeting from Alaska !
Well, that’s disproved man made global warming. We can all stand down now…
And obvious troll is obvious.
Now where is science and humans to invent or create water .water is just human’s basic need
We can easily create water if we need to.
Just on this scale, its cost prohibitive.
@@Garfie489 not by digging , or drilling
it is possible to make water. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The process to combine hydrogen and oxygen is very dangerous though. Hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds flames, so the reaction to create water often results in an explosion.
What’s the way you know to create water?
@@rabiamohd8253 the process of burning fossil fuels is also an explosion.... we seem to have mastered such a process.
Similarly water is in an endless cycle on Earth. We can simply condense the air to make water.
@@Garfie489 If it’s that easy then why millions suffering from drought and no one takes action
@@rabiamohd8253 "We can easily create water if we need to.

Are they now open 😂😂
you need a nasty hurricane to fill up your water with massive floods or you need to reseed your clouds for more rain or you need a good long snow storm to fill up the water other wise guess what it will be the same thing again next year lol
Priorities all wrong
Dredging program badly needed
Vegetation clearance badly needed
