London UK Flooding: Roads & Shops Left Underwater as HUGE Deluge Hits Capital
London Flooding: Roads and Shops Left Underwater as Overnight Deluge Hits Capital
London flooding hits Tube services and roads Heavy rain in the early hours of this morning has caused delays on the Metropolitan, District, Piccadilly and Circle lines, Transport for London has said, and flooded parts of Knightsbridge, Hampstead and Croydon BBC News 5 OCT 2021. Climate experts say the number of extreme rain events is increasing. The Met Office says the amount of rain from extremely wet days has increased by 17%. It also said "a shift to more intense individual storms and fewer weak storms is likely as temperatures increase." I remember reporting on severe flash flooding in Brixton more than 15 years ago and I was told then it was a one in a 1,000 year event. Now in London these very localised, severe, rainfalls seem to happen every few weeks or months. Cities like London are now having to prepare for flash flooding events in the future. Transport systems in particular are vulnerable. Better drainage, materials that can absorb rain and better flood protections are all being planned. But it all comes at a cost. Commuters faced disruption as flooding at Gloucester Road and Aldgate led to parts of the District, Circle and Metropolitan lines to close. London Overground also partially suspended services due to flooding at Imperial Wharf.
