Climate Science Shows UK Heatwaves Could Reach 45°C Within 30 Years
Scientists warn that the United Kingdom could experience heatwave temperatures reaching 45°C (113°F) within the next 30 years, with climate models showing that any future weather pattern similar to the infamous 1976 heatwave would be substantially more severe than that historic event. Research from the Met Office and universities including Newcastle and the University of Reading reveals that warming at roughly 0.25°C per decade since 1976 means peak temperatures could be 3–4°C higher in some reg…
