Storm Christoph Brings Flooding and Snow To The UK

HEREFORD, UNITED KINGDOM - JANUARY 22: A van passes through a road submerged in flood water on January 22,2021 in Hereford, England. Heavy rainfall coupled with rapid snow melt causes the River Wye to break its banks submerging infrastructure, residential and business properties in the Rotherwas area. Residents reported their highest ever local flood levels as the the Withy Brook and Watery Lane were flooded both from the adjacent main river and rain runoff. Storm Christoph is the first named storm of 2021 triggering numerous severe weather and flood alerts across the UK. The increase in extreme weather events is directly coupled to the increase in frequency and severity of flooding and rapidly changing climate. (Photo by Toby Smith/Getty Images)
