Climate change could affect Wi-Fi

May 13th, 2011

The environment secretary Caroline Spelman has this week warned that climate change could disrupt the UK’s Wi-Fi network, as well as affecting power and water supplies.

As reported by The Telegraph, Ms Spelman explained how intense rain, heatwaves and droughts caused by global warming could affect Wi-Fi signals, which cannot travel as far in warmer temperatures and cannot capture a signal in heavy rain.

She also said that flooding, power cuts and freezing temperatures, as well as weather-related disruption to the UK Wi-Fi network, could stop the economy from growing. Ms Spelman concluded with a warning that the UK’s infrastructure is simply not ready for climate change, but desperately needs to be.
