The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority is warning of some localized flooding in the area.

Rain and warmer temperatures could cause more hazardous conditions.

The Conservation Authority warns that people, pets, and livestock should be cautious around the river, or any ditches or streams. The combination of slippery banks and fast-moving, cold water can be dangerous.

Fog to start the day today, with some rain later on and a high of 5C.

The Full Wolf Moon will peak tonight.

This will be 2024’s first full moon.

Why is it called a wolf moon? According to the Old Farmers Almanac, it’s thought that January’s full moon got the name because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at the time it would be seen in the sky.

Other names for the moon include the Cold Moon and the Freeze Up Moon.

The dense fog could make it difficult to spot the moon.

A guy in Germany broke a Guinness World Record by chugging a full cup of coffee in three seconds.

His name is Felix von Meibom, and his official time was 3.12 seconds. He did it in September, but Guinness just posted the footage after confirming the record.

It’s hard to tell if it was still hot when he chugged it. A few sources claim it was, but the Guinness website doesn’t mention that being a requirement.

The previous record was 3.17 seconds. So he only beat it by five one-hundredths of a second.
