A very good report. Even if it did make the compulsory nod to climate change.

Even though in the UK there has been more overall rain the the last couple of years; it has been spread over the year and not as any specific heavy downfall.

So all of the factors are at work. Failure to dredge silted up rivers, building on low-lying areas, lack of shelter belts, etc.
