How many UK floods have occurred the last ten years Also is there a list of the number of floods by region that is posted online?

In recent history the worst floods to hit the UK were probably held to be the floods of 1947. There had been a lot of heavy snowfall in this year which underwent a sudden and unexpected thaw and extremely heavy rain. This resulted in widespread flooding across the UK with many rivers breaking their banks. Flooding occurred all over the country with the Fens, the Midlands, East Anglia, the South and parts of Yorkshire most badly hit. In the 1950s the East Coast of the UK was also badly hit when high winds and North Sea surges flooded this coastal area.Until recent years floods seemed to be isolated incidents. Notable major UK floods during this period included:1979 - Llandovery in Wales stands on the flood plains of various rivers. Following a river breach in 1979 the area has been flooded in 1987 and 1998.1998 - in 1998 heavy rain caused flooding in the Midlands with estimates of nine weeks of rain falling in two days.2000 - in the Autumn of 2000 Rossett in Wales suffered severe flooding following heavy rainfall and uncontrollable river levels.2004 - in this year the Conwy Valley in Wales saw its flood embankments breached two times in one year causing severe flooding. This year also saw the famous flood at Boscastle when two rivers burst their banks.2007 - the worst flooding in modern history occurred in 2007. Floods here caused significant damage to Northern Ireland, East Yorkshire, the Midlands, Yorkshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and South Wales. This flooding is held to be at a similar level - if not worse - than the great floods of 1947.

What are the effect of the tewkesbury in 2007?

Because the town is situated near a couple of major bodies of water (where the Avon and Severn meet), it floods often. From wikipedia The area around Tewkesbury is frequently affected by flooding. In general such flooding causes little damage to property as the town is surrounded by large areas of floodplain which restrict urban development and the ability for the town to spread. However, extreme flooding events have caused damage to property and affected transport links, the most significant events occurring in 1947,[4] 1960[5] and 2007. 4. ^ The great floods of 1947, The Guardian July 25th 2007 5.
