245Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Frequent/Intense RainfallExtremely seriousShort-termLondon is already vulnerable to flooding from a number of sources, including heavy rainfall. Greater storm frequency and magnitude will increase the probability and impact of surface water flooding. This is likely to impact on the health of Londoners and visitors, damage property and infrastructure and create significant economic losses.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)
246Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Frequent/Intense RainfallExtremely seriousMedium-termChanges to the seasonality of rainfall is likely to mean that London's water supply/demand balance will become increasingly precarious, requiring the imposition of more frequent and longer-lasting water restrictions.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)
247Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Sea Level RiseLess seriousLong-termLondon is well protected from tidal flooding by tidal flood defences including the Thames Barrier. It is very unlikely that these defences will be over-topped or breached, so the probability of tidal flooding is very low.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)
248Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Temperature Increase/HeatwavesExtremely seriousMedium-termExpected increase in mortality of heat-vulnerable individuals and mortality amongst the wider population. Increasing demand for mechanical cooling leading to increasing demand for energy, potentially affecting security of electricity supply.(51.504858°, -0.078689°)(55.378051°, -3.435973°)
249Greater London Authority3422United KingdomLondonC402015Temperature Increase/HeatwavesExtremely seriousMedium-termExpected increasing demand for mechanical cooling leading to increasing demand for energy and the potential for ‘cool poverty’.
