Could changing weather patterns due to climate change make a difference to where and when we travel, or to the cost of our holidays?
It was the hottest June on record for Western Europe, according to the EU’s climate service, Copernicus. And the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says that heatwaves in Europe will become more frequent, more intense and longer-lasting.
