Sadiq Khan said he is 'seriously concerned' about the prospect of flash floods in London
But rain is forecast for the capital next week, and dry ground absorbs water more slowly, leading to fears of flash flooding.
Sadiq Khan voiced his concern about a repeat of the scenes in London last July, in which flash floods damaged thousands of homes and the city’s transport network. Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Mr Khan said: “We are coordinating with councils what we’d do if that [flooding] was to happen.
“But let’s be frank, a city like London is not ready for the consequences of climate change and we’ve got to get ready.”
