2nd March 2024. Following the warmest February on record in England and Wales, and the wettest February on record in southern England, there is a lot of flooding in parts of Berkshire. Pictured: flooded fields near the River Lodden at Shinfield, Berkshire, England, UK. Extreme rainfall is more common and more intense because of human-caused climate change, since warmer air can hold more water vapour.
