On tonight on BBC: a special Panorama show.
Whether you were wading through floods or struggling through a heatwave, 2026 was the year when you could hardly miss our extreme weather. Temperatures in the summer topped 30C for 33 days in a row. Months earlier, some parts of the UK saw 40 consecutive days of rain.The BBC's climate editor Justin Rowlatt investigates the impact of climate change on our weather. He speaks to scientists who warn that hotter summers and wetter winters are likely to become more typical, and looks at if enough is being done to adapt our towns and cities to the changing climate. Justin asks, as the cost of living continues to bite, are governments under pressure to ditch some green policies, or do they remain committed to tackling climate change?
