World War II Bombing Raids Affected British Weather

From the July 8th I-G Daily by Emma Woolacott.

Contrails from World War II bombers changed English weather, making it colder where the planes were operating.

Research by Professor Rob Mackenzie at the University of Birmingham examined levels of Aircraft Induced Cloudiness (AIC) caused by massive Allied bombing missions.

From 1943 to 1945, the US Army Air Force had huge numbers of aircraft based in East Anglia, the Midlands and West Country. When they took off, the skies would turn white from the contrails of the huge formations. Over the long term, the weather was warmer, but short term, colder as the clouds prevented the sunlight from reaching earth.
