One or two events is a coincidence, 5 unlikely events within the span of a few weeks is a pattern.
Whether and to what extent these 5 unlikely events is an anomaly depends on the number of measurement locations and the expected year-to-year variability. If there were 5,000 reporting sites, would we be surprised by "5 different 1-in-1000 year flooding events" in one year?
Climate change is real, but so are enthymemes and low quality news reporting.
