UK's extreme weather feared as 'new normal' after record year

Britain has faced extreme weather across 2022 and the National Trust fears it may become the "new normal".

The record-breaking year started with vicious storms followed by a severe drought in some parts of the nation as the sun scorched and temperatures hit new highs in the summer. This winter we have seen snow and ice disrupt England, Scotland and Wales just days before Christmas.
