Across the UK, across Continental North America, and around the world, on the internet by

webcast and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes, and this is the first edition for 2014

of the Unexplained.

Thank you very much for your emails over the holiday period.

I'm getting through all of those and I'm going to do some shout outs and also address

some of your points in the next edition of this show probably, but this time round we

have a very special guest.

More about him coming soon, but what a weird start to 2014.

This has been not only the weather is odd here in the UK.

We have the continuation of the storms that we had before Christmas.

For about a month before Christmas, the UK was battered on and off by storms and very high.

A power winds that have caused flooding and damage to property and all sorts of stuff

and over this holiday period we've had more of that.

And as the new year has begun, there are many parts of this country that are underwater.

As I look out from where I'm recording this now, I can see a field that is pretty well

flooded and we have more rain and more wind on the way.

What is happening?

But the one compensation of all of this, if it is, and we've had temperatures of about

11 degrees Celsius, 52 Fahrenheit very early in the morning here, which in January, end

of December, beginning of January, well, I won't even say unusual, totally unprecedented

in the UK.

So something weird is going on with our weather.
