UK 'could see tornadoes and non-stop rain within 10 years' in bleak warning

Scientists have shared a terrifying warning that the UK’s to be battered with mini-tornadoes over the next 10 years. The spine-chilling revelation is synonymous with the prediction of non stop rain by 2034, as a result of global boiling, reports The Mirror

A document by World Weather Attribution predicts downpours increasing in severity every half-decade. This could mean hailstorms, potentially even during the summer.

There will also be a surge in flood and "supercell storms," which are in-effect mini-tornados. These violent weather patterns are predicted to strike with increasing frequency and ferocity.

Bill McGuire, a leading expert in geophysical and climate hazards at University College London (UCL), paints a stark picture of what lies ahead. McGuire warns of shorter-lived yet intense torrential downpours. He said: “In summer, shorter-lived torrential rainfall and hail are more likely associated with convective storms [severe local storms] that develop when temperatures are high.

In January 2005 a severe storm hit Cumbria with over 100 mph winds that created havoc on the roads and toppled over 1million trees. The event lead to severe flooding in many parts of cumbria especially in Carlisle. As global warming takes affect we can expect more of these severe weather events
Floods are going to be much more likely too

“Higher average wind speeds will mean that future storms will be increasingly damaging. Massive supercell storms will become more likely year-round, bringing increased flash flooding."

McGuire also highlights that while these convective storms could strike anywhere in the UK, regions experiencing the highest temperatures, notably southern and central England, are most susceptible to their wrath. The latest report also highlighted shifting weather patterns poised to disrupt water supplies, farming, and urban areas.

Leading the charge is Chris Brierley, a distinguished professor of climate science at UCL. Brierley's urgently called for action to be taken now to try and mitigate the damage. He said: “There needs to be a change in the way we manage flooding, including reforesting bare hillsides to soak up water run-off and paying farmers to allow land to be used to hold excess river flow.”

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

-

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
