年表提供了英国山洪事件的记录，主要基于1700年至2020年之间的数据整理。年表的主要目的是改进对特定规模山洪暴发的风险评估。它分为全国18个地区，包含近8000个事件的描述。它扩展了以前的年表，涵盖了英格兰北方和西南部，这是作为在线资源提供的（）。暴洪以前有各种各样的定义，但在这里定义的发病速度，可适用于河流洪水和地表水洪水。该年表首次提供了地表水洪水及其对城市、城镇和村庄影响的全面清单。报告还提请注意，河流水位普遍以非常快的速度上升，要么成为“水墙”，要么由于强降雨而以可能危及生命的速度上升。已确定近300起此类事件，主要发生在英格兰北方、威尔士和苏格兰的高地地区。洪水风险评估和预警方面的实践和理论问题进行了讨论。年表可供下载，并托管在
The chronology provides a record of flash flood events in Britain based on data collated mainly between 1700 and 2020. The primary purpose of the chronology is to improve the risk assessment of flash floods of given magnitude. It is divided into 18 regions of the country and contains descriptions of nearly 8000 events. It extends a previous chronology covering northern and southwest England which is provided as an online resource in (). Flash floods have had a variety of previous definitions but are here defined in terms of the speed of onset which can apply to both river floods and surface water floods. The chronology for the first time provides a comprehensive list of surface water floods and their recorded impact on cities, towns and villages. It also draws attention to the prevalence of very rapid rates of rise in river level either as 'walls of water', or at a rate likely to endanger life as a result of intense rainfall. Nearly 300 such events have been identified mainly in upland areas of northern England, Wales and Scotland. Practical and theoretical issues with respect to flood risk assessment and warning are discussed. The chronology is available to download and is hosted on
