Weather of the future: Scientists predict UK climate change

The year is 2118, a holographic robot is reading you the weather forecast in your virtual reality living room and the UK has just had it's hottest summer for the tenth year in a row.

Believe it or not that could be a very real vision of the future.

Using the latest technology from the people who forecast the weather, including the British Met Office, scientists predict increasing summer temperatures, more extreme weather events and rising sea levels.

The scientists say that record hot summers like 2018 will become more likely, whilst winter will be hotter and wetter.

That might not sound all bad, but more flooding has been predicted, partly thanks to rising sea levels due to the rise in global temperature.

The UK government says it's preparing for climate change and that eventually it may have to move people from high-risk flood areas as weather in the UK becomes more severe.

This weather outcome is only likely to happen, if the world is to continues increasing emissions of carbon dioxide rather than reducing them.

The UK already leads the world in tackling climate change - with emissions reduced by more than 40 per cent since 1990. However these projections show a future we could face without further action.

But even under a low emissions scenario, the Met Office says that the UK will see an increase in the average yearly temperature.
