In this lecture we will explore new research looking at the causes and impacts of flooding in Sheffield, the 2022 heatwave in the UK and monsoon flooding in Pakistan and the effectiveness of adaptation to those events. The Royal Meteorological Society has created GCSE classroom resources based on these case studies.
