The Environment Agency has just published its latest annual report on flooding in England:
During the year approximately 5000 properties were flooded. (This figure only applies to major events, as they do not collate data for all incidents)
To put the number into perspective, it is higher than most years since we have records for, but much lower than the really severe years, such as 2000, 2007, 2015 and 2016:
There is no evident pattern in the long term data.
NOTE
Most of the historical data in my chart comes from EA annual reports since 2011/12. Earlier data was sent to me by the EA by email, and obviously needs treating with care, as its accuracy is dubious.
