LONDON, Aug 30 — England is likely to experience longer, drier summers later this decade that could worsen the risk of droughts, according to British national forecaster the Met Office, which said the change was due to increasing climate change.

The Met Office, Britain’s meteorological service, reached its conclusion that the changes were human-driven by comparing different emissions scenarios, which showed the effects were stronger when emissions were high. “Our research found that the largely ‘summer-like’ weather patterns - bringing drier conditions - will begin to extend into the start of autumn,” Met Office scientist Daniel Cotterill said in a statement.
