Scorching springs may soon be norm,

A new report by World Meteorological Organization suggests the unusual heat in parts of Northern Europe this week may become the norm going forward.

This as numerous countries bask in unseasonable spring heat. 

The report authored by the WMO and UK Met Office predicts global temperatures over the next five years.

Now the new United Nations climate projections forecast a high likelihood of more speeded-up warming through to 2030, with Earth smashing its record for the hottest year and regularly surging past the international climate limit set in 2015.

A hotter globe means more extreme weather including floods, droughts and heat waves such as the one Europe experienced this week, scientists say.
