The Met Office concluded that the changes were human-caused by comparing different emission scenarios, which showed that the effects were stronger when emissions were high. It said summer-like conditions are expected to last longer and a 4-12% reduction in rainfall in England is likely in the coming autumn. It comes after parts of England declared drought and the recent record-breaking heatwave pushed the impact of climate change back onto the political agenda. “Our research found that summer-like weather patterns – bringing drier conditions – will start to extend into early autumn,” said Daniel Cotterill of the Met Office, the lead scientist behind the study. “Although we do not expect to see this change in pattern immediately, a key finding from this study is that from the mid-2020s warmer and drier autumns followed by warmer and drier summers could increase drought risk.” The strength of changing weather patterns depends on the rate of greenhouse gas emissions, which climate scientists refer to as emission pathways. “Our research compares a very low emissions route with a very high emissions scenario,” added Mr Cotterill. “What we see is that these effects are much stronger in the high-emissions scenarios, and this suggests that these changes in weather patterns are due to human influence and the resulting warming effect on atmospheric circulation.” The paper, published in the journal Climate Dynamics, found that England is likely to see less rain in the autumn but could face extreme rainfall interspersed between drier periods.

Mr Cotterill added: “This is a message we may start to see in the next 10 years. It is likely that we will see a 4-12% reduction in rainfall in English areas in the coming autumn. “This largely depends on greenhouse gas emission scenarios. One of the things we’re already seeing in the fall as average seasonal temperatures rise is an increase in the number of extreme precipitation events. But in the future, we’re likely to see this drying effect also. “UK climate forecasts have shown for some time that we can expect warmer, drier summers and warmer and wetter winters. Our study shows that we are also likely to see warmer and drier autumns on average.”
