MAIL ONLINE: Welcome to Londelona! Global warming will cause the climate in the English capital to resemble BARCELONA by 2050 and Edinburgh will feel more like Paris, study claims

Description

Dr Grant Allen, atmospheric physicist at the University of Manchester, said there was also the issue of extreme weather events becoming more frequent, particularly in terms of intense rainfall for the UK.

'While the mean climate may well become much like Barcelona, which presents its own chronic challenges for UK ecosystems and infrastructure, the science concerning the changing chances of extreme weather events is much less certain and recent evidence is a cause for alarm,' he said.
