	The Kent weather book Floods and freezes, tempests and tornadoes, deluges and dust-devils, hailstones and heatwaves from day to day the weather pattern changes. We are told that global warming may be the cause of recent extremes but in the hop gardens and orchards, on the chalk cliffs and downs and across the rich marshland of Kent, the climate has always been variable. Yes, the train that should have arrived on platform two was stranded in a snowdrift. Yes, grandad was telling the truth when he said he paddled down the High Street in a canoe.
