Starting around 5:15 p.m., the storm unleashed extreme amounts of rain over Hampstead Heath.

The sewer system could not handle the quantity of rain. This was the largest daily total ever to be recorded in London history.

Hampstead received 170.8 mm of rain within 24 hours. The storm was caused by a combination of a slow-moving low-pressure system, a frontal system near the United Kingdom, a low-pressure system over France, and overall warm air advected in from the continent. Around 250 were also left homeless because of the floods. Many places flooded, resulting in one death and two injuries. 14, 1975, areas across eastern England received more rain than drainage systems could handle.
