National Trust says UK weather extremes to become new normal

• The National Trust warns that 2022’s extreme weather may be a new norm.
• Temperatures, dryness, and back-to-back storms hampered nature.
• The Met Office predicted that 2022 will be the UK’s warmest year on record.

The National Trust has issued a warning that the harsh weather experienced in the UK in 2022 may have established a standard for future years’ average weather.

High temperatures, a drought, and back-to-back storms, according to the organization, have presented significant difficulties for nature.

It referred to these situations as the “new normal” in its annual evaluation.

It claimed that this year served as a “stark example” of the challenges that many UK species would experience if more isn’t done to combat climate change.

The dry summer and months with little rain harmed farms and natural habitats, dried up rivers and weak chalk streams and ponds, and fueled wildfires that razed entire landscapes, according to the organization.

Areas including Zennor Head in Cornwall, Bolberry Down in south Devon, Baggy Point in north Devon, and Studland in Dorset were charred by wildfires on National Trust land, destroying the homes of several species, including rare sand lizards.

The Met Office predicted that 2022 will be the UK’s warmest year on record in a different report.

According to the weather forecaster’s preliminary data, all four seasons have been in the top 10 since records have been kept in 1884, with the 10 warmest years starting in 2003.
