What will happen to the UK if the Gulf Stream collapses in 2025?

The Gulf Stream is part of a wider system of currents, officially called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which scientists say could collapse as early as 2025 .

The AMOC transports warm water near the ocean's surface northwards from the tropics up to the northern hemisphere.

In the summer , UK temperatures will be about 5.4F to 9F (3C to 5C) lower than they are now.

Meanwhile, winter temperatures could be 18F to 27F ( 10C to 15C ) colder on average, although certain parts of Britain would bear the brunt of it.
