THE UK is likely to swelter in regular 40C summers, experts warn, even if global warming is limited to 1.5C.

We are already experiencing increasingly extreme weather, with 2020 the third-warmest, fifth-wettest and eighth sunniest year on record.

Data in The State Of The UK Climate 2020 report reveals the average winter temperature last year was 5.3C – 1.6C higher than the 1981-2010 average.

December 2019 to February 2020 was the fifth-warmest winter on record.
