$21M coming for flood protection projects in Westchester localities along Blind Brook
Some $21 million will go to flood protection in Westchester localities along Blind Brook, by replacing two undersized bridges and doing other work to guard against extreme weather's effects, Governor Kathy Hochul said Wednesday, June 25. The county will enlarge the Playland Parkway and Oakland Avenue bridges' spans to address problems anticipated from climate change, the governor's office said in a news release. The bridges are expected to allow better flow during heavy rains and alleviate flooding upstream. 'Providing funding and resources to help local governments get shovels in the ground for these projects is a top priority, and we'll continue working together to modernize our infrastructure and provide common sense solutions that best position our communities for the future," Hochul said. The money — part of 2022's $4.2 billion Clean Air, Clean Water and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act — will support replacing the two county-owned bridges that cross Rye's Blind Brook. The county will also "daylight" — uncover — a channeled part of East Blind Brook in Rye Brook. The project includes creating a properly sized, multistage channel. "This is great news for Westchester County as we all work to plan for future extreme weather events driven by climate change," U.S. Rep. George Latimer, a Westchester Democrat and former county executive, said in the release. "It is critical that we invest in aging infrastructure to meet the current challenges due to rain events and flooding, and plan for future risks." Good to know: Are you ready for a flood? What to know, how to prep for flooding in Lower Hudson Valley Meanwhile, according to the release, the state Department of Environmental Conservation is studying flood-prone Westchester areas at no cost to villages, towns and cities. In addition to Blind Brook, studies of the Bronx and Hutchinson rivers, Mamaroneck and Sheldrake rivers, and Beaver Swamp and Grassy Sprain rivers, have been finished. The release said the DEC is also working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Mamaroneck and other partners in neighboring localities along Long Island Sound to carry out similar projects that aim to protect infrastructure from floods.

All the parts of England set for '41C heatwave' with five counties breaking record
Large parts of the country have just come out of the second heatwave of the summer - but another could be on the horizon in a matter of weeks. Weather maps from WX Charts have turned black for the middle part of July where the temperature has been forecast to reach a whopping 41C in parts of England - which would be record-breaking. According to that level of heat could be experienced in Norfolk which has been forecast to experience 41C on Tuesday, July 15.

That currently stands at 40.3C which was reached in Coningsby, Lincolnshire, on July 19, 2022. According to WX Charts, the previous four days (July 11, 12, 13 and 14) could also see temperatures reach the heatwave threshold, meaning we could have another heatwave in the middle of July. The mercury has also been forecasted to reach 40C on Monday, July 14, in West Sussex and East Sussex, while Sunday, July 13, could se highs of 35C. It's worth noting that these forecasts could subject to change, given July 15 is just under two weeks away. With the arrival of hot weather, the UK Health Security Agency also publishes heat-health alerts for different regions. The West Midlands was under an 'amber' alert earlier this week but with the weather cooling down after the most recent heatwave, alerts across England have been lifted at present. In its long-range weather forecast from July 6 to July 15, the Met Office said: "Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills, especially western Scotland where large rainfall totals may have built up by this time. "Eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks, but with a risk of thundery showers, which could be slow moving at first. "Likely turning cooler and more showery into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. "Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses." However in the period from July 16 to 30, the Met Office added: "Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast."
