The study say that there’s a one in three chance of of monthly rainfall records being broken during the winter, the Met Office found.
The winter of 2014 saw the heaviest amount of rainfall in over 100 years and current computer simulations suggests similar or greater risk of record breaking rainfall could occur again in the next decade.
