North West England key findings

Key findings for the North West of England are shown here for the 30-year period from 2070–2099 (called the 2080s) under a medium emissions scenario, and for summer and winter temperature and precipitation. More detailed key findings are available for each region on the UKCP09 website.   

Medium emissions scenario

  • Under medium emissions, the central estimate of increase in winter mean temperature is 2.6ºC; it is very unlikely to be less than 1.4ºC and is very unlikely to be more than 4ºC.

  • Under medium emissions, the central estimate of increase in summer mean temperature is 3.7ºC; it is very unlikely to be less than 2ºC and is very unlikely to be more than 5.9ºC.

  • Under medium emissions, the central estimate of change in winter mean precipitation is 16%; it is very unlikely to be less than 3% and is very unlikely to be more than 34%.

  • Under medium emissions, the central estimate of change in summer mean precipitation is –22%; it is very unlikely to be less than –43% and is very unlikely to be more than 0%.
