Default BBC - Low solar activity link to cold UK winters

The UK and continental Europe could be gripped by more frequent cold
winters in the future as a result of low solar activity, say
researchers.

They identified a link between fewer sunspots and atmospheric
conditions that "block" warm, westerly winds reaching Europe during
winter months.

But they added that the phenomenon only affected a limited region and
would not alter the overall global warming trend.

The findings appear in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
