“We tend to see 40 Celsius in England, even though we have never seen such a temperature (before),” Bentley said.
“When we reach 1.5 Celsius global warming, it is not only something we see once or twice, it will start to be something we see based on a much more regular.” Met Office Climate Scientist Mike Kendon, the main author of the report, said the numbers showed new normal for England, a country famous for changing weather.
“In seven out of the last 10 years, we have seen temperatures at 34 C in England compared to seven of the previous 50 years before that,” he said.
