, in the Thames Estuary in the UK, which includes London, flooding can occur when high tides coincide with low-pressure weather systems 87 . Areas of low-lying land (floodplains) in the estuary would be at significant risk of flooding if flood defences did not protect them. The Thames Estuary houses critical

temperatures over a central area of England stretching between Lancashire, Bristol, and London. The decade of 2002–11 has been a particularly interesting one for CETs, with a number of warm autumns (2009, 2011), along with a number of cold winters (2009/10, 2010/11). The emergent science
