Upton-upon-Severn UK
The small town of Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire, has long been at risk of flooding from the River Severn. As the climate changes, many scientists expect British winters to become warmer and wetter, and the rainfall to be heavier when it comes. This means that major floods, such as those which happened in 2000, are likely to become more common. |
