Now get ready for an ‘Ice Age’ as experts warn of Siberian winter ahead BRITAIN faces a new mini-Ice Age with decades of severe Siberian winters and washout summers, an expert has warned. By: Nathan Rao Published: Mon, October 28, 2013 express.co.uk Britain is facing a new mini Ice Age this winter Britain is facing a new mini Ice Age this winter [NORTH NEWS] Professor Mike Lockwood, of Reading University, said erratic and extreme weather patterns could be the norm in 20 years. He said the risk of harsh winters and wet miserable summers has gone up to 25 to 30 per cent compared with 10 per cent a few years ago. Weakening sunspot activity is to blame for a “major change” in the UK’s weather he told BBC TV. He said: “The sun is ‘quietening’ really rapidly. We think it is actually quietening more rapidly than at any time in the last 10,000 years. “So this is a major change. We think lower solar activity does seem to tie up with more cold winters in central Europe and the UK.” Climatologist Dr Dennis Wheeler from Sunderland University, said: “When we have had periods where the sun has been quieter than usual we tend to get these much harsher winters.” Much of the country could be covered in ice and snow this winter [PA] We think lower solar activity does seem to tie up with more cold winters in central Europe and the UK Professor Mike Lockwood The comments follow unusual weather patterns over the past few years including the extreme winter of 2010 and this summer’s heatwave. They also come after the Met Office suggested earlier this year that the country may be in for a decade or more of washout summers. It said the country was in the middle of a rare weather cycle caused by a shift in the jet stream in the upper atmosphere. Since the cycle began in 2007 six summers have been damper than average. Last year saw the heaviest rainfall in a century leading to England’s wettest summer on record.
