Across the country, properties on flood plains and along riverbanks have been deluged by dirty, muddy water.
Now weather forecasters are warning temperatures are set to drop with hints that even colder weather could arrive in a couple of weeks.

It's a bit late now, we have destroyed ancient woodlands that would help soak up a lot of the water. We ignored the green lobby when they said don't build on natural flood plains. We have hard paved gardens and lawns so we can park our cars. Flooding is now with us for good.
I think people don’t take into account the number of trees felled for agriculture. Most if not all of the ancient woodland in the UK has disappeared, those trees could easily deal with a lot of the flooding seen. Notice how most images of floods are in empty fields devoid of trees?
trees don't takeup water in the winter do they?
@@edwardbernthal160 I wouldn't have thought so.
@@edwardbernthal160
A mature tree can hold a minimum of 50 gallons
The so called gov Who are crap are meant to be planting thousands of trees
it isn't even that. In my county of Norfolk there has been a real battle on the dge of Norwich for a couple of decades now to stop hundreds, if not thousands, of houses being built near a small village and on the main flood plain before Norwich! Planning has no common sense, we are losing our agricultural land hand over fist and if a developer doesnt like the 'no' from local councils they just seem to appeal to whoever sits in London - who then just says 'yes' without any thought or understanding.
Building on flood plains is like building next to a volcano. Could go for decades and decades with no problems.
Then 🤷♂️
Our original ancestors built on hilltops for a few reasons
Invading armies
@@Robert-cu9bm and flooding rivers which were much more common than invading armies.
Yet all the old villages and towns are built on rivers
@@sarahann530 NEAR rivers, not on floodplains.
@@rockbutcher
Funny because all the footage I see seems to show old buildings flooded, not new estates.
My wife and I ruled out a gorgeous house purely on the basis of flood likelihood. We’re now much higher up in a place that required a lot of work. Correct decision! 😮💨
Apart from taking a wife
Rishi is like an automated response robot
he's got people on the ground while everyone else is underwater
Rishi is useless.
He's not got a clue!
@@annaclaire9927 holding onto the idea that those in power are incompetent demonstates gaps in your knowledge, not theirs
Wow, pot calling the kettle black or what.
Could there be a more automated crock of nonsense than your comment.
Lefties show up and blame the PM without offering anything relevant or useful.
How original
"This house hasn't flooded in 24 years. These people wouldn't expect their house to fill with water." Her words. Smart home buyers might want to think a moment about what she said.
Well noted I thought the same and they are still building on flood plains
precisely and it would be made known to them and its reflected in the price of the property
@@dawnpiper5883And they want to build more , absolute madness.
Stop building on Flood Plains...This is often reclaimed land which before the river banks were filled in with earth would have naturally flooded
I came to England 15 years ago, I was shock to see that the weather was so wet and yet the houses and buildings were all made equal to the ground, where insects 🐞 🕷 and 🪱 worm enter the house very easily and dirty water with shoes directly enters the house🙄 Since they are a country of very wet weather and abundant rainfall, every building and house should be built 2/3 feet above the ground. It was advisable to have a verandah in every house.
this is my new favourite comment on youtube
Build low, blame climate change, refuse to insure.
It’s when corporations piss into the same pot.
Make your customers happy, then miserable, make them buy again to make them happy.
They could then put in place ramps for prams, wheelchairs etc
@@cbsGD why is that?
Building houses on flood plains is a dumb idea for planners so what do they expect?
If I had brought a house or land on a flood plain I would be crying too but I brought a house or land knowing it was on a flood plain then I have no one to blame but myself….
And bet the house was cheaper due to the location.
Just think of the defences that could have helped people with the billions of pounds that the Tory government squandered during Covid
or successive labour governments squandered on their little pet projects! Governments of ANY party have been atrocious in the last few decades. Time the majority of those who sit in London supposedly representing their voters actually started to listen to what the people want.
dont forget hundreds of millions sent to support the war in UA
@@suecharnock9369 What do the people want? Because most of the ones I talk to haven't got a clue.
And the at least 10m a day housing illegal immigrants imagine that being spent in an educated way - - to many people crammed into a small island DOESNT WORK and yet they still process more to let them in
At least we protected the NHS
Try dredging the rivers! And dont build on flood plains! Thats why theyre called flood plains. So it flooded 24 years ago? Maybe should of took😢 notice! 😮
I’m sure there is still a hosepipe ban in some areas
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Terrible situation. Especially winter time. 😢
A lot of countries are in danger zones and will be affected first. Especially: the United Kingdom, Italy, China, Japan, India and the countries in the Arabian Peninsula.
These scientific findings were voiced at the *_AMERICA_* *_AT_* *_THE_* *_CROSSROADS_* *_2024_* (from time 3:41:51)
Rishi doesn't give any sheets. His wife isn't even British, because she doesn't want to pay taxes.
Rishi the god of water.
Why is he allowing the rain? It's an utter disgrace and if he can't build an ark, he should quit.
Flooding isn't going to get any better unless the government stops inappropriate building on green space. Also they need to ban artificial grass, paving over gardens, building on existing gardens etc. etc.
Adapting to climate warming is getting expensive
The rate of immigration means there's not much option.
Exactly!!.
And next week a hosepipe ban!😂
Perhaps the government need to have a word with the people that control the weather
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Perhaps they should think about their people for a moment rather than sending money to Ukraine and Israel instead of blaming the weather
The government needs to have a word with God?
No, no, no! We don't want it to stop otherwise we can't tax it.
Anyone remember when river banks and canals were maintained, and buildings weren't erected on flood plains? Anyone?
There are a lot of very simple solutions to all of this. No one putting them into play....
that is exactly the reason why floods that always happened are affecting people more nowadays.
No dont remember.
@@loadapishAlzheimer’s
River dreading would have prevented this imo….
There's a lot of simple idiots in charge of this scenario also
Living near water used to be idyllic…..probably time to move to higher ground as it’s not going to improve anytime soon. Such a travesty.
Was the same 24 years ago. But they never learn. 😮
Ive got dozens of old photos from the 60s and 70s of towns and villages flooded far worse than what were seeing today.
As more fields are concreted over can any one say they are surprise at flooding ?
It will be getting worse for a long time with climate warming
Gimme a break with the Sky News 'concerned voice' BS. Just give us the news
The silt built up over the decades , the autumn leaves etc etc allowed to build up and choke the drains and waterways, has the gross negligence of authorities not been conspicuous by its absence, is this really shocking, or is it weather right enough 🤷♂️
I don't think it was leaves causing the river flooding😂
Why don't the government,put into place the dredging of rivers again.i haven't seen this for decades now.
Cus it wouldn't flood then? They need an excuse for climate BS😮
@@user-wc2xf3fj6l The floods are happening across Europe
Dredging big rivers like the Severn, the Ouse, the Trent, the Wye etc was not commonplace in the past. Just think of the logistics involved.
I once owned a 17th Century cottage by a river. The floors were stone and quarry tiles and slightly sloped to the middle of the house where there was a soakaway to let any water drain away.
Is it really so hard for modern developers to think practically?
Oh, I bet it was damp though....
Truly is heartbreaking 💔 and stomaching churning to see such attrocities to be put on innocent people it breaks my heart to see it 😭
Innocent my behind. They bought a house without doing the research. It had flooded out 24 years prior. I have no sympathy for them.
i remeber the floods of 74 and 75. it was deeper than this.
Ive seen old photos of towns flooded far worse than this. Ive seen old photos of Nottingham city center user 3 feet of water.
The media is loading the question claiming no one has ever seen such flooding to push the global warming narrative to a gulible public .
What was happening in 74 and 75 seems to me completely irrelevant to what is happening now
not really. our river floods all the time, but never as bad as the 70s. we used to get flash floods. up the waist.@@alansmith4748
@@alansmith4748 No it isn't because the narrative now is that this is new and 'man made' not just nature.
So much for buying a house with a river view 😊
UK badly need a gofundme page
Maybe time to stop cloud seedings and chemtraiIs.
Who is cloud seeding and why ?
Its really sad for these people ...but never live on flood plains ....
A lot of ugly new property developments have blighted old villages and towns with no regard to the environment.
I remember in the 70s how much worse it was.
Building on floodplains has never been a smart move.
I feel it hasn’t stopped raining since September.
100%
Is your name Carol?
That's climate change alright. This is going to get worse for a while
Stop building on floodplains
Exactly, most people commenting on here possibly live in a new overpriced house, and can't seem to get it.
famillies love buying houses on flood plains
Its a shame maybe if all the hotels weren't full of doctors, scientists and engineers we would have somewhere too put our own up whilst this gets sorted 🤔
This is heartbreaking! Praying for y'all from Texas. If it weren't for Sky News, i wouldn't even know! ❤🙏
Building more reservoir leave places for the water to run in no more houses being built on flood plains
That’s devastation feel really sorry for the peoples who were effected.
Government is infatuated with stopping the boats , soon we are all guna be travelling on boats. My prayers for all affected by the floods. 🤲🏽
2024 is gonna be a very very very terrible year...buckle up everyone
Please share your workings with the rest of us lowly plebs.
That’s the spirit! 😂
Flooding sometime cracks the ground when it dries cup ruins the land.
May i suggest storing this water and using it to put the fires out this summer. 🤷🙃
My way they have cut down the trees along the river bank to build houses on a well known flood plain. Madness
Are these poor areas? If so, condolences
If it's some rich people's homes that got flooded, who cares. They have insurance and can afford a hotel
Many people can't get flood insurance in these areas, they simply lose everything.
@@martinwebb1681 The report said the area hadn't been flooded in 25 years so one could presume that insurance companies would cover it. They don't cover stuff that happens all the time
@@chonkywonder ... Insurance companies do not cover properties that have previously been flooded, areas like this prone to flooding by rivers or houses built on flood plains prone to or with a possibility of flooding will be unable to get flood insurance cover, basic insurance yes, flood cover no.
We pay the water companies to collect the water it’s their responsibility and if they can’t do it sack the chief executives
Those poor homeowners what a crappy start to 2024 😢
I built a house on the beach and it floods twice a day.
It's terribly inconvenient.
Oh it's awful isn't it, so inconvenient for the dogs.
How Sad to these poor people suffering
Come summer we'll have a drought
30 years of warnings, ignorance evidently is not blissful
Rishi will be happy. Distraction from the boats.
Distraction from his funding genocide
Well some of them.
please remember - these poor people will not have insurance in most cases. If a property has flooded in the last 50 years I think finding affordable insurance will be almost impossible. So these people truly have lost everything.
Americans dont seem to understand this. We dont have any money we cant buy nicer houses in nicer places
That's a bit of an inconvenience.
Blah blah blah Rishi…
And they still keep building on floodplains , absolute insanity .
Heartbreaking for sure...
Love the Trent - reminds one of yachting holidays past,Trent Falls,etc.Lovely !!!
Hell mend England, they never learn from 50 years of flooding.
Maybe if the environmental agency and the river trusts actually maintained the drainage channels within these areas the water would have at least a chance to run off, and create specific flood plains.
Maybe if the tories hadnt decimated the environmental agency…..
True, and if river side land were trees and not barren farmland?
Drain into the overflowing river?
The floods are happening across Europe
Don’t build next to rivers
When the levve breaks
I fail to understand that every time GB gets a weeks constant rain there is mass flooding.
GB gets the left overs that fall on Ireland
When were the rivers last dredged?
hasn't flooded for 24 years? so it can and will happen again in the future :(
What I find most intriguing are the denials - people who come up with various excuses to reject scientific evidence. Even when they hail from a remarkable country with distinguished scientists, they often resort to weak arguments to defend their political preferences and adopt an imprudent way of life. Let it be known, nature ultimately has the final say, and unfortunately, things are bound to worsen.
‘The boat inn’… ruthless from sky news 💀
When your home is named "The boat inn", it is normal to be in the water.
The worst flood since records began, 891 bc.
Total BS. it flooded 24 years ago. And was worse. Take your lies elsewhere!😮
Ok Noah, don't show off.
Stay strong.
Hundreds of households,who bought houses near rivers that flood, are whining. No flooding for 24 years.......and.....,buy a house on a hill
global warming lets pay 5 times more for cars ffs
They should also add a feature that allows them to float until the floods subside or to navigate the floods with an outboard motor to recharge in a town where there is still power of course!
It is terrible and especially for those who have lost people . If they have . Just have to be grateful it could be bombs we are dealing with 😢 🙏 I’d sooner deal with a flood . With time all will be fine again if people put things into perspective. Bombs ? Something else completely . Amen . Peace on earth and I do hope the water subsides.
No fear. Sunak's on the ball. Phew.
All talk and no action
Dredge the rivers dredge the fkin rivers 😤
The news presenter was well trained to speak like a news presenter.
They need to be having words with the borough council, too many houses being built upstream and surrounding areas , water has to run somewhere
When houses are allowed to be built on flood plains this is the obvious result.
‘The water had nowhere else to go’
Blame it on the water
Do u see this every year it never changes, mps and royals visit the floods, nothing really gets done and the cycle goes on and on, yet this country has the money proof is priority to pay migrants 58 million a week, or send 50 million to China, and India, this must be addressed to if right or wrong, it takes one home after flood up to over one year to dry out, plus the stress of dealing in insurance claims ect, some do not ever get over this, been there done that, let's see this goverment, royals really show they care by getting a massive effort to solve this ongoing problem.
I think people need to realise the gov can't stop this and move out
Hmm this is horrendous...
Lack of infrastructure towards flood defences, buiding dams, and over populating a small island will bring any country/ small island massive problems
I’m sure the UK government will put many of these people up in free hotels until their houses are fit to return to, right? Right guys?? ..right?
And free food, phones and healthcare until they get back into their homes.
Why does the gouvernement nothing against the water?!
There too lazy mate eventually I just gave up on them and helped out myself
Same every year the best the people who run the country come up with are a few sandbags to prevent the water systems from flooding
So sorry.
Reminds me of 50s, 60s and 70s
🙏💔😢🙏
Very sad.😞
The world has changed
*Nam myoho rengekyo* 🙏 pray 🌍 peace 🕊️ be safe

“The Boat Inn” seems like an appropriate name.
The boat floods there every time the river rises,it’s part of its history as the levels are marked on the doors…it’s what tourists visit it for
@@petebartlett2229 so does it flood there a lot? Wouldn’t it be expensive to repair water damage every time it floods?
@@morningsidedriverockyes it gets flooded almost every year. Like Peter said, it has flood markers on the side of the door going back decades …it’s a nice pub to visit especially in the summer 👍👍
Maybe they should rename it , "The drowned rat".
Don't expect when it might just happen
That is a really annoying reporter’s cadence.
Your voice is enough to make anyone miserable.

@@mvnorsel6354 Enough said. Countless lives wrecked? 🤣
Well blame this on the out of control housebuilding.
Has anyone thought of moving to higher ground to build houses?
I guess now brits have to to fight climate change!!
It's just a natural phenomenon, they will get over it.
Slightly ironic thumbnail showing that the Boat Inn was flooded.....

A real tragedy!!

There's a solution to that problem, but it won't be popular with tory voters so it won't happen.
Why do viewers click "like" on something like this? Totally pointless. People are stupid.
