England is likely to experience longer, drier summers later this decade that could worsen the risk of droughts, according to British national forecaster the Met Office, which said the change was due to increasing climate change.
Large parts of England have declared a drought in recent weeks and a record-breaking European heatwave has pushed the country's infrastructure to its limits, forcing the impact of climate change up the political agenda.
"Our research found that the largely 'summer-like' weather patterns - bringing drier conditions – will begin to extend into the start of autumn," Met Office scientist Daniel Cotterill said in a statement.
