Detailed study shows inconsistent impact of climate change on weather across Europe
Global warming even applies to the North-South divide according to scientists who have discovered that temperatures in the south of the country have been rising much faster than in the north.
In the most extreme case of the temperature divide, a new paper finds that, since 1950, climate change has made the hottest days of the year rise by at least 2.5C in much of the south east, but just 1C or so in the north east.

The research was conducted by the Grantham Institute and Warwick University and published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
The paper’s findings were welcomed by climate change scientists, who said they cast valuable new light on the mechanics of global warming.
