About three years ago, the UK first violated 40C (104F) on records. Now a new Met office study shows that temperature – and even warm condition – is likely to be 20 times more than the 1960s.
“We are seeing the number of hot days, the length of the summer waves and an increase in that intensity,” said Gillian, a senior scientist at the UK Met Office and a leading writer of the research.
A team of scientists at the KE and Met Office’s Headley Center used a global climate model that creates a symbolic of admirable summer temperature under current climatic conditions. Those simulation shows a very remote chance that the temperature in Southern England can hit 46.6C, reaching the all -time high of Europe’s 48.8C.
The simulation was based on the existing levels of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, which the work said that it could prove to increase the target.
“With an increase in greenhouse gases, we will expect even more intense and more frequent heat waves,” he said.
The high pressure on the UK is currently pulling into a stream of hot air which is a forecast to bring a summer wave position in London and Eastern England later this week. By Saturday, the height of the day will exceed 30C, as Greenland becomes a funnel of high to high above warm as it sinks rapidly.
The high pressure pattern has established many of the Britain’s most harmful heat phenomena, including the notorious heat of 1976, when the temperature for more than a fortnight was above 28C. The study shows that in today’s climate, the condition of such heat wave may last for a month or more.
Kay said that in 2022, the growing period and intensity of heat waves like a hit – and was associated with more than 2,800 deaths – highlights urgency for preparation in the UK, the Kya said.
“We saw a serious impact on people’s health, especially in more weaker sections of society,” he said. “We also saw wildfire in urban centers. There was a disruption on the streets, and the rail network, the taramac and bakaling rail melting.”
