Parts of the UK suffered heavy flooding last month and communities are now struggling to cope with the damages.

We can expect this kind of phenomenon become more and more frequent in the coming years, leaving residents and emergency services lacking in the increasing humanpower required to deal with such events.

Quotes from the article:

“Parts of Somerset experienced extremely heavy rainfall in May with some areas having more than two weeks’ worth of rain in a few hours.”

"Somerset councillor Sarah Dyke, lead member for Environment and Climate Change, said the council will investigate the flooding over the next few months.

“The flooding came from absolutely nowhere,” she told BBC Points West."

Meanwhile, flooding and unusual weather continue elsewhere in the UK.
