British autumns will seem like summers because of a projected 14% decrease in rainfall by the end of the century.


According to the Met Office, autumn will become hotter and drier after 2025, feeling more “summer-like,” and drought danger will rise as a result.

By the end of the century, there will be a four to 12% decrease in the amount of rain that falls during English autumns.

The Telegraph claimed that storms, on the other hand, are expected to intensify but that they won’t lessen the effects of the protracted dry spells.

According to David Cotterill, the study’s lead author, “one of the things we are already seeing in October as average seasonal temperatures climb is an increase in the frequency of severe rainfall events.”

But in the future, we’re probably going to experience this drying impact as well, he said.

According to the Environment Agency, the South West is now experiencing a drought due to some of the driest weather in over 90 years.

According to the Met Office, autumn is expected to become hotter and drier after 2025, which will make it seem more “summer-like” and raise the danger of drought.

And he said, “We may think about the fall of 2020 to see how things might develop.” The UK had its wettest day ever on October 3, with enough rain to fill Loch Ness.

However, if you look at the total amount of rainfall in August, it is really just 6% over usual, and that is because that year’s September and November were very severe.

A “false autumn” has recently occurred in the UK as a result of the drought. A month earlier than usual, Britain’s trees are becoming a sea of reds and oranges due to an unexpected seasonal change brought on by an abnormally hot and dry summer.

In what has been the driest year since 1976, the Environment Agency yesterday declared the South West of England to be in a drought, leaving only three of England’s 14 regions drought-free.

Hosepipe restrictions, however, continue to seem improbable in light of the announcement that Wessex and Bristol Water both affirmed their supplies were safe for this year.

Both businesses noted that the response was brought on, at least in part, by their efforts to stop leaks.

The drought is resulting in low river flows, hitting the environment in and around rivers

Low river flows brought on by the drought are harming the ecology at and around rivers.

According to a Wessex Water representative who talked to the Telegraph, “we’ve been keeping rivers and streams “topped up” throughout the summer with 90 million liters of water per day that we’re able to pump up from the groundwater sources.”

In addition, despite a 12% rise in population, “we are also repairing 1,200 leaks per month and have decreased leakage by 30% in the previous 20 years.”

Despite the fact that meteorologists have issued warnings, both businesses are anticipated to encounter difficulties if the dry weather persists into the next year.

Chris Paul, the Environment Agency’s drought head, told the newspaper that despite some significant rainfall over the previous two weeks, it has not been enough to replenish our rivers and aquifers.

“Rivers are abnormally low across our Wessex region, with several exhibiting the lowest flows on record.

The local fauna is put under enormous pressure as a result, which is why we are heading to drought status. In order to reduce our influence on the environment, we are putting our local activities first.
