•Sunday roast in crisis? Climate change causing shortage of veg
86% Informative
Temperatures in the UK have been among the warmest on record this winter and last year were 0.64C (1.15F) above the 1991-2020 average.
This means that plants that normally start their growth in spring are now ready to harvest.
That means British growers might struggle to produce enough crops to meet demand for veg by spring .
Climate change means these conditions are only likely to become worse.
A series of severe weather events in Europe mean that imports might not be able to make up the difference.
Spain provides 25% of the UK 's fruit imports and 8% of vegetable imports.
Disruption to the Spanish growing season will have a knock-on effect on UK markets.
Climate change has caused problems for farmers who rely on consistent and predictable rains to grow crops.
Climate disruption to crops' natural flowering cycles is likely to continue as winter and autumn become warmer.
