Further, the experts writing in the Nature and Climate Change journal have warned that the short, sharp downpours could become an increasingly unwanted characteristic of the British summer if the effects of global warming continue. UU said that it is investing heavily in schemes designed to mitigate the risk of flooding homes and business.
