generally higher than those of the record-breaking 1947 flood. The already saturated nature of the ground worsened the impacts, leading to excessive surface run-off in the upper reaches and widespread flooding further downstream. Rivers such as the Avon, Ouse and Nene readily burst their banks. Over 4,200

water, and a landslide closed the A470. There were reports of flooding in Manchester city centre with a number of roads around Manchester flooded. In the Yorkshire Dales, some villages were cut off and a number of rivers burst their banks. Further south, Clacton Pier was closed, as was the Orwell

Paris Agreement – The UN describe the Paris Agreement as a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was established at COP21 in Paris in 2015. The goal of the agreement is to limit global warming to well

rainfall series from 1766 and the value for autumn 2000 is the highest in this series. The wet weather brought widespread flooding to England and Wales as rivers rose to record levels and burst their banks. The worst flooding was in mid-October and then from late October into early November

However, a weather system in the Atlantic is poised to introduce more unsettled conditions by Easter Monday. Dan Suri is a Met Office Chief Forecaster. He said: “Ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend, unsettled conditions will see bands of rain – with some heavy bursts in places – moving eastwards
