in an hour could be 3.5 times more likely by the 2070s compared with the 1990s. In London 30mm/hr could be 2.5 times more likely. 30mm of rain in one hour is a threshold which is typically used to trigger flash flood warnings. These results suggest a big increase in the frequency of flash flood

this summer, Cirencester in the Cotswolds recorded the largest number of ‘warm weather days’, with 32 days of 25-30 degree heat. This was followed by St James’ Park in London, which enjoyed 30 days of temperatures between 25-30 °C. Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex, completed the top three, recording 23 days
