England suddenly received heavy snow in mid-May

In mid-May, the sky suddenly snowed 5cm thick, the temperature dropped quickly, heavy rain lasted with a wind speed of over 100km / h, the whole UK was suffering from one of the harshest periods of weather.

Professor John Beddington, former scientific adviser of the Royal Government, said that climate change has caused many negative impacts, making the weather in the "foggy island" more and more harsh and unpredictable. .

Although the UK changed the summer time from March 31, the climate is still quite cold with an average temperature of only 7-8 degrees Celsius.

On May 15, the snow suddenly appeared in the North and Southwest of England, Wales and Scotland. Other areas sink in heavy rain accompanied by strong winds.

According to authorities, during this unseasonal snow season, Shropshire County is bordered by England and Wales as the place with the heaviest snowfall.

Mike Steedman - a hotel businessman in Anchor (Shropshire county) can't remember the last time the snow fell in May in this region is from when."The snow is so heavy, the climate is wet. Luckily it ended soon. Now it's warmer , " he said.

Many people in Shropshire could not believe their eyes when they woke up in the morning to see a white "blanket" covering everything.

Joanna Robinson, the weather column editor for Sky TV, thinks that snow falling in May is unusual. However, everything can happen due to climate change.

According to Devon and Cornwall police, strong winds blew from the English Channel, sometimes at speeds of up to 118km / h, toppling trees, blowing up the roof, causing traffic to become chaotic. Prolonged heavy rain, where measured rainfall is 75mm, caused landslides on the hillside down the road.

The UK Environmental Agency raised the flood warning level in areas of Shropshire county such as Melverley, Maesbrook.

According to the UK National Weather Forecasting Agency, bad weather will continue to affect the country in the coming months.

Professor Beddington argues that humanity is dealing with many issues related to climate change. In particular, in the next 12 years, when the world population increases by 1 billion, climate change will push food security - energy - water resources to the brink of crisis.

Speed ​​of urbanization is too fast and unsustainable is also one of the reasons why the temperature of the Earth increases.

Facing this situation, Mr. Beddington called on the international community to act quickly to cope with global warming, mitigating the negative impact of climate change.
