00:00The UK's climate has changed so much that conditions once considered extreme are increasingly
00:06becoming the new normal, according to a major new report led by the Met Office. Experts say
00:12rising temperatures are bringing more frequent heatwaves, warmer seas, changing rainfall patterns
00:17and increasing pressure on wildlife and natural habitats. The report says the last decade has
00:22been significantly warmer than the late 20th century, with recent years repeatedly breaking
00:28temperature records. Scientists say the findings underline how weather affecting homes, health,
00:35travel and the environment is changing, and worn communities will increasingly need to
00:40adapt to more frequent extremes in future.
