The UK Climate Projections 2009 report released last week addresses the aspects of climate change the UK is already likely to face, and those that still have the possibility of being avoided. On average, it estimates that the UK will see between 2 and 6 degree C temperature increases by 2080 along with an average of over 20% less summer rain and much of the country seeing increases in winter rain by 20%. Areas in the south of the UK, which are already water stressed are expected to see even greater decreases in summer rain than the average.
