within public and private water utilities. • The impact of heat on power supplies can be significant, especially in London where the widespread use of air conditioning can impose a large demand on supply and infrastructure. Infrastructure running at high load can cause over heating of transformers

, but their rapid succession led to numerous impacts. With saturated ground, the rain resulted in rapid runoff causing significant and widespread flooding problems. Impacts There were numerous impacts from flooding, particularly affecting the transport network. The London to South West England mainline
