The real-life Day After Tomorrow? Britain is set to be battered with cold snaps, floods, and storms by 2100 - as North Atlantic winds reach 'unprecedented' levels thanks to climate change

In 'The Day After Tomorrow', humanity is frozen under layers of snow, drowned in massive tsunamis and dramatically crushed under vehicles thrown by tornadoes. Scientists at the University of Exeter and the Met Office say changes to North Atlantic winds could batter the UK with cold snaps, floods, and storms. In 'The Day After Tomorrow', humanity is frozen under layers of snow, drowned in massive tsunamis and dramatically crushed under vehicles thrown by tornados Discovered through several studies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the NAO acts like a giant meteorological 'see-saw' in the North Atlantic. It is measured by the gradient between high pressure over the Azores and low pressure over Iceland Scientists say a negative North Atlantic oscillation caused an unusually cold winter in Europe 15 years ago. The team conclude that the NAO will 'probably cause severe impacts on society' – especially increased flooding and storm damage in Northern Europe In their new study, published in Nature Climate Change, the team conclude that the NAO will 'probably cause severe impacts on society' – especially increased flooding and storm damage in Northern Europe.
