The mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said he is “seriously concerned” that London may experience severe flash flooding following the extended period of dry weather, with the capital “unprepared” for the heavy rain that may yet come.

All of London has been officially declared in drought by the National Drought Group, after almost a month without rain in some areas.
While rain is forecast in London next week, dry ground absorbs water more slowly leading to fears that the capital may face flash floods.
Khan said he was worried that London could see a repeat of the flash flooding that damaged thousand of homes and the city's transport network in July 2021.
“We are coordinating with councils what we’d do if that [flooding] was to happen, but let’s be frank, a city like London is not ready for the consequences of climate change and we’ve got to get ready," he told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
