Why was there a gloucestershire floods?
The Gloucestershire floods of 2007 were caused by a period of exceptionally heavy rainfall in July of that year. The region experienced more than double its average rainfall for the month leading to flooding in many areas.
The floods were caused by a number of factors including:
- A low-pressure weather system that brought heavy downpours.
- The fact that the area had already experienced above-average rainfall in the weeks preceding the floods.
- The geography of the area with rivers running through narrow valleys increasing the speed of the water and making flooding more likely.
All of these factors combined to create a perfect storm which caused extensive flooding in Gloucestershire resulting in significant damage to property and infrastructure and sadly the loss of life.
IT was found in 1611. This means it is 400 years old.
