After a recent government review, the UK will now begin anticipating for 20-30% more extreme rainfalls. The study was conducted after multiple winter storms led to severe flooding conditions with more sites now at risk. With these results, the UK government will allocate £12.5m for emergency temporary barriers and defenses. Some say that the review is not enough, and it does not take into account long-term climate change flooding potential.
