Civil Contingencies Advisor may be deployed to the MoD in London. Elsewhere, the Met Office provides NAME output for military incidents that may have international repercussions, with the Hazard Centre’s role becoming one of support in such circumstances.

, 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

heat was centred in Scotland for this period, with the highly populated south of England (London in particular) being only in the top-third of Mays for temperature. Nonetheless the resulting UK-average daily minimum and daily mean temperatures were recordbreaking. While maximum temperatures were
