Tornado hotspots in the UK The UK has its own versions of “Tornado Alley.” The research from Manchester University has also identified three main regions where tornadoes are most likely to occur: South-central England, particularly the area between Reading

This section provides an overview of flood risk for the next five days and explains how flood risk status has been allocated to different areas. It is always worth reading this in conjunction with the five-day flood risk maps. Bear in mind that there may still be localised issues despite an overall
