Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of climate changes on extreme seasonal precipitation in Great Britain. It has been proven that enhanced greenhouse conditions attributed to climatic and hydrologic extremes have largest impact on the biodiversity. Increased precipitation and enhanced variability offer the people a hard time coping with its changing intensity and occurrences. Results of the assessment of global and regional climate model simulations and future projections of extreme precipitation show that the trend is primarily dependent on climate changes.
