Extreme weather in the UK

The UK is not only famous for its beauty but also for its extreme weather. Strong winds and storms are examples of severe weather. Those conditions can cause damage to buildings and houses. They can also be dangerous to people. Another example of extreme conditions is drought. Droughts are periods of dry weather. They often happen when there is a lack of rainfall over a long period. They can heavily affect the supply of water and can destroy crops. Floods are also an issue in the UK. Too much rainfall often causes floods in a short period of time. Floods cause damage to houses and buildings, washing away roads and vehicles. People sometimes lose their lives in floods.

According to scientists, global climate change will cause hotter and wetter weather in the UK in the 21st century. Heatwave is a problem in the UK due to climate change. The shocking temperature of the heat wave is the result of greenhouse gases. It causes people to work from home and students to study remotely. Trains become dangerous because the railway can expand and bend in the heat. People might see such extreme heat waves every three years if they continue to produce greenhouse gases.
