There is a chance that some places over Dartmoor for example, could see 100-150 mm. In addition, rapid melting of lying

inland fisheries will be reduced by rising water heavy rainfall and flood events. Infrastructure and settlements • More intense rainfall events will increase flood risk in settlements across Central Africa, with densely populated, low-lying, and fast-growing informal settlements most exposed
