New analysis of the latest climate science shows that future extreme rainfall could be more extreme than previously thought.

rainfall in the future we’re seeing the influence of climate change on the weather we’re experiencing now.”  Extreme weather events are nothing new, but the frequency with which they are occurring is changing. For the UK, five of the 10 wettest years on record have happened since 2000

UKCP18 Guidance: Representative Concentration Pathways What are RCPs? To model and predict future climate it is necessary to make assumptions about the economic, social and physical changes to our environment that will influence climate change. Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs

indicators of the influence of climate on our environment and natural resources. Studies in Germany have showed that tree leaves are unfurling earlier in the year, and in Lake Windermere (UK), algal blooms are occurring earlier in spring. 2017 also saw differences in the start and end of the growing
