British weather will see 'supercell storms' and flash flooding within 10 years, scientists say

People living on every corner of the earth are experiencing higher levels of extreme weather due to the effects of manmade climate change with record floods, droughts, and wildfires already impacting countries across the world as temperatures rise 1.3C. Unless something is done to stop temperatures rising further, scientists have warned that this is likely to result in "supercell storms" afflicting even the mild British climate.

As the globe warms, Britain's reputation for rain will only get worse, with a grim prediction of relentless rainfall by 2034 as torrential downpours, as well as the floods that follow them, will increase in intensity every five years as the climate changes. The alarming report by the World Weather Attribution group, has described how these warmer temperatures and increased rainfall will even increase the ferocity of the wind, with "mini tornados" emerging as a new feature of British weather.

Monsoon-like rains, followed by hailstorms, are projected to linger for extended periods, wreaking havoc throughout the years, even in the typically sun-soaked summer months. People have also been told to brace for an uptick in floods and the emergence of these "mini-tornado" supercell storms as violent weather patterns are predicted to strike with increasing frequency and ferocity.

Bill McGuire, a leading expert in geophysical and climate hazards at University College London (UCL), paints a stark picture of what lies ahead. McGuire warns of shorter-lived yet intense torrential downpours. He said: "In summer, shorter-lived torrential rainfall and hail are more likely associated with convective storms [severe local storms] that
