Short summary
This study aims to improve prediction and understanding of extreme flood events in near-natural catchments across the United Kingdom. We develop a machine learning framework to assess the contribution of different features to flood magnitude estimation. We find weather patterns are weak predictors and stress the importance of evaluating model performance across and within catchments.
