people in fishlake in south yorkshire have suffered from severe flooding.ere inundated two years ago. let's cross there now and join bbc weather presenter simon king. iam in i am in fishlake and saint cuthberts church is to the left of me, which acted as a hub, and you have the flood plain of the river don and it is running quite low but it was a different story two years ago today when 90% of fishlake flooded. so what happened? there was a slow—moving weather system that brought about 50 to 100 millimetres of rainfall from humberto sheffield. that meant a month worth of rain falling for fishlake in 2a hours, but before that there was a huge amount of rainfall falling from south yorkshire and this graphic shows the dark blues indicative of six months of rain falling in six weeks, so the river don was completely saturated on the water had nowhere to go but to flood the village and we have seen the climate change already. in the uk, rainfall, we've had six of the last ten wetting ? wettest year since 1998 in what will happen in the future? the science is clea
