The Environment Agency attributes the extreme weather to climate change effects. Despite the floodwaters expected to recede, the aftermath will be felt for months, with significant damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Local authorities are working to provide support and have called on the government for financial aid under the Flood Recovery Framework. The River Trent hit near-record levels, and ongoing efforts are being made to increase community resilience against future flooding.
