Across Britain an estimated 1.09 million properties are currently at risk of inland or rainfall-driven flooding. That’s forecast to rise to 1.35 million by 2050, putting 250,000 extra properties at risk due to the impact of global warming.
Bristol-based flood-mapping expert Fathom’s model is the first to use climate change data - as opposed to purely historic data - to predict the towns and cities most at risk of flood.
