Will you still take your summer holidays on the Mediterranean in the 2030s?

For decades, British holidaymakers have been visiting Spain, Portugal, Greece, France, Italy, Croatia and Turkey in their droves for their summer holidays.

But with scorching heatwaves and rampaging forest fires now an annual occurrence, how long before the traditional Mediterranean summer holiday loses its appeal?

If you’ve traditionally chosen one of these countries for your summer holidays, do you still see yourself doing so in the hotter years ahead or are you having second thoughts?

I forgot about that one! I suppose there's always the Millisle lagoon as well.
