Floods, droughts and even snow in May: Britain's weather has got so bad the Met Office is worried

After summer floods and droughts, freezing winters and even widespread snow in May this year, something is clearly wrong with Britain's weather.

Concerns about the extreme conditions the UK consistently suffers have increased to such an extent that the Met Office has called a meeting next week to talk about it.

Leading meteorologists and scientists will discuss one key issue: is Britain's often terrible weather down to climate change, or just typical?

Attendees are expected to debate whether the changing weather pattern in the UK, and in northern Europe, is because of climate change or simply variable weather.

'We have seen a run of unusual seasons in the UK and northern Europe, such as the cold winter of 2010, last year's wet weather and the cold spring this year,' a Met Office spokesman told the Guardian.

'This may be nothing more than a run of natural variability, but there may be other factors impacting our weather.

'There is emerging research which suggests there is a link between declining Arctic sea ice and European climate - but exactly how this process might work and how important it may be among a host of other factors remains unclear.'
