London's warming: The impacts of climate change on London
London's Warming Summary
PDF (2Mb) London can expect weather that is slightly drier overall, but with more rain in winter. We expect the weather to be warmer on average, and with more frequent extremes, such as hot dry summers. In addition, the sea level is expected to rise, more in the South East than elsewhere in the UK. The Study looked at a broad range of impacts across issues such as flooding, water resources, health, the built environment, transport and other infrastructure, business, tourism, biodiversity, lifestyles. |

The London Climate Change Partnership was formed in 2001 when it commissioned a study into the impacts of climate change on London from a consortium of consultants led by Entec UK. The report 'London's Warming' was launched by the former Mayor Ken Livingstone and Michael Meacher, the then Environment Minister, on 24 October 2002.
