The northern Atlantic has been cooling steadily over the past few months leading to a colossal area of icy water to form off the UK coast.
This is thought to be the result of changes in wind flow and salinity and could lead to lower than average temperatures in Britain all year round.
The phenomenon has already raised fears this winter will be unusually brutal with months of sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow on the way.
Long-term accumulative effects could be that parts of northern Europe, including Britain, will cool dramatically.
Long-range forecasters say this will add to the mix with the UK at risk of a “fully-blown ice age” before the end of the century.
