UMBRELLAS were much-needed across the county in November with recorded rainfall on every day except the last one.
Your Worcester News weatherman Paul Damari said the flooding in and around Worcester could have been much worse but for a dry autumn.

“If we’d had more rain in September and October the flooding situation would have been much worse.”

He said: “Similar wet months were May 1983, with four dry days; January 1988, with three, and November 1997, with five.
