The reality of our hot, dry summer ☀️ We asked Professor David Simon from @RHULGeography to reflect on a season that is triggering droughts and lifestyle changes across the UK. #Drought #Research
"This spring and early summer were the third driest since 1871, and it's been dry across the UK. The Southeast is expected to get a more Mediterranean climate by mid-century - hotter drier summers and more extreme weather swings. Wildlife is already shifting, with warmer-climate species moving in from the near Continent" (Professor David Simon, Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London)
