"The effects of climate change mean Britain is increasingly at risk from
flooding, says the Environment Agency. It estimates that changing climate
patterns in the UK will eventually mean a 10% increase in annual rainfall,
wetter winters and more summer thunderstorms."

"Hotter and drier summers brought about by climate change will mean that the
availability of water supplies will come under even more pressure"
Quote from thre The Environment Agency annual state of the environment
report for the South East.

So which is it to be chaps?!

I'm just looking forward to the warm and dry October/ colder winter theory
being put to the test. :-))
