Summer landed with a bang, and flashes of lightning. After we basked in the hottest weather of the year so far at the beginning of June, Mother Nature quickly reminded us that we live in Britain. Huge storms swept across London, chucking a month’ s worth of rain down in a hour. South London bore the brunt after suffering, as Met Office described,‘ exceptionally intense’ rainfall that saw roads turned to rivers. Car’ s were submerged and drivers had to be rescued across South London as twice in one week flash floods crippled the road network catching road users off guard. The fire service received 100 calls in related incidents to the freak weather including burning telegraph poles, trees and flooding incidents. So summer’ s off to a good start, looks like we’ ll need our swim gear after all.
