British summers could soon be like those in the drought-ridden Mediterranean, and the winters characterized by severe flooding, according to a new report on climate change.

U.K. Climate Impacts Report predicts extremes of temperature will hit the U.K. if global temperatures continue to rise.

The Met Office climate experts used their software to run 400 different computer models.

The Met Office came up with three scenarios - low, medium and high - depending on how much carbon we emit over the next century.
