Risks of the climate crisis to Spelthorne.
The dangers of climate change are well known; however, it is worth reiterating the risks to Spelthorne:
- Drought – July 2022 was the driest on record in the South-East
- Heat – temperatures recently hit 40.2 at Heathrow on the hottest day on record
- Wildfires – major incident declared by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service as wildfires took hold in July 2022
- Flooding – due to the rising level of the Thames due to sea level rises as well as less frequent but heavier downpours
- Water security – it has been estimated that the South-East will require an extra 110 million litres of water per day over the next 35 years which could affect Spelthorne’s reservoirs
- Food security – drought will have a detrimental knock-on effect on our food supply
