Drier summers

Reduced summer rainfall is expected and, combined with increased temperatures, could result in more droughts in Yorkshire and Humber. Water shortages in the summer could become more frequent. If stand pipes were introduced in your area, how would this affect your business?

In Yorkshire and Humber it is anticipated that the summer rainfall will decrease by about 5% by the 2020s. Subsidence may become more common and could affect insurance costs.
