Comment: Hook is over 200 characters, but I think this may be acceptable as there are two articles in it. The record-breaking river levels claim is located at the end of the second paragraph in
Storm Eva#Impact. The sentence for the rainfall record is at the start of the section
2015–16 Great Britain and Ireland floods#Storm Desmond (5 December). Also it is worth noting that the rainfall record did not occur as a result of Eva; it was
Storm Desmond, but that article is too old for DYK.
It has come to light that many media outlets were wrongly attributing Eva to the flooding. As a result the article has been substantially trimmed and may be facing deletion. I propose ALT2. JollyΩJanner 17:49, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
ALT2b ... that the UK's 24 hour
rainfall record was broken on 5 December 2015 during flooding(pictured)?
Storm Eva's deletion discussion is over and it was kept. So here's a hook combining Eva and the flooding. It's a bit tricky to find an inline citation saying that Storm Eva exacerbated the flooding, but flooding occurred during Storm Eva's passage during the scope of
2015–16 Great Britain and Ireland floods.JollyΩJanner 07:48, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
To clear the backlog on this one, it might be easier to go for the one hook on the floods article; going by exactly what the Met Office source has gives us : ALT4 ... that the UK's two-day
rainfall record was broken on 5 December 2015 during flooding in
Thirlmere,
Cumbria?

Full review still needed.

Both articles are new enough and long enough. They are free of copyvio concerns; the only hits on the copyvio detector are Wikipedia mirrors. They are well sourced. I strongly prefer Alt 3, which is cited in
Storm Eva.
2015–16 Great Britain and Ireland floods has an orange expand section tag, so is not main page eligible until that gets taken care of. ~ ONUnicorn(

ONUnicorn: Thanks for reviewing this nomination. I have expanded the section in question to an equal level of depth as the rest of the article and removed the tag. JollyΩJanner 06:30, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
