Editing Worcester, England (section)

===Climate===
Worcester enjoys a temperate climate with generally warm summers and mild winters. However, it can experience more extreme weather and flooding is often a problem.<ref name="news.bbc.co.uk"/> In 1670, the [[River Severn]] burst its banks in the worst flood ever seen by the city. The closest flood height to the [[Flood of 1670]] was when torrential rains caused the Severn to flood in July 2007, which is recorded in the [[Diglis Basin]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Great Floods |url=https://www.webbaviation.co.uk/gallery/v/greatfloods/?g2_page=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612143139/https://www.webbaviation.co.uk/gallery/v/greatfloods/?g2_page=1 |archive-date=12 June 2018 |access-date=12 June 2018 |website=Webbaviation.co.uk}}</ref> This recurred in 2014.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Flooding |work=BBC News |date=13 February 2014 |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-26167360 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180621114357/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-26167360 |archive-date=21 June 2018 |access-date=12 June 2018 }}</ref>

During the winters of 2009–2010 and 2010–2011, the city underwent long periods of sub-freezing temperatures and heavy snowfalls. In December 2010 the temperature dropped to {{cvt|-19.5|°C|°F|1}} in nearby Pershore.<ref name="Guardian20122010"/> The Severn and the River Teme partly froze over in Worcester during this cold period. By contrast, Worcester recorded a temperature {{cvt|36.6|°C|°F|1}} on 2 August 1990.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TORRO – British Weather Extremes: Daily Maximum Temperatures |url=http://www.torro.org.uk/hightempsyear.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106104049/http://www.torro.org.uk/hightempsyear.php |archive-date=6 November 2018 |access-date=23 November 2018 |website=Torro.org.uk}}</ref> Between 1990 and 2003, weather data for the area was collected at Barbourne, Worcester.
