How to deal with our unpredictable weather

The UK’s weather has always been a topic of conversation, but recent patterns have taken unpredictability to new heights. From sudden downpours to unexpected heatwaves, homeowners are facing challenges that can strain their homes’ resilience.

The new normal: rapid weather changes

In May 2025, we experienced a mix of weather extremes. While some regions basked in unseasonably warm temperatures, others faced sudden storms and heavy rainfall. Such fluctuations aren’t just inconvenient – they can lead to serious home emergencies.

The risks to your home

Rapid weather changes can cause:

• Flooding – heavy rains can overwhelm drainage systems

• Structural damage: strong winds may damage roofs

• Power outages: storms can disrupt electrical supplies

These incidents not only disrupt daily life but can also lead to costly repairs.
