i believe it is due to global warming!!
this is just one of the physical causes - Flood risk during the summer is normally reduced by dry soil conditions. However, in this case the record early summer rainfall meant that soils were already close to saturation. Groundwater levels were also much higher than normal, so there was little infiltration or percolation capacity.
