I cant recall 2018/19 being any worse than usual, and yes most of the
flooding where I am is down to that. If you must use water meadows it
behoves you to attend to their drainage schemes.

Worst flooding I can rember was 1967.


(And pressure to build on flood plains).

Wher I am is reclaimed land  apart from where I live which is a terminal
moraine from the ice age. It is managed to prevent flooding. It doesnt
flood catastrophically.

Odlly enough many degrees of warming 10,000 years ago allowed
civilisation to flourish.
