What with all this hot and dry weather and that year on year increase in 'zonal' temperatures across the planet who can predict the effects on our flauna and flora? Which species will be the winners and losers on our currently not so green and pleasant land?

The drought has broken here Micky Boy. A night of rumblings & actual thunder claps. The deluge hit @ 06:15hrs & is bouncing off the paths, it’s spectacular, flashings of lightening too. Mother Nature is a great leveller, She takes & She gives. I watched the sunrise just before the night(black clouds) enveloped the land again. Enjoy it👍🏻😊. Stressing won’t solve anything☹️

Not going to worry about it Micky, we've had to wait a long time since 1976 for something similar so there will be plenty of time for things to recover. 
Don't know about the rest of the planet, one thing for sure nothing stays the same in our natural world.

Yes, nature will! Trouble is its not summer weather we should think carefully about but the climatic zoneal shifts both north and south of the equator we are witnessing. Can we humans adapt quick enough to the changes we are probably bring on ourselves. Some hide their heads in the sand, thing is in some sub saraharan areas, for example,much that was agricultural land is now sand!

Micky, The planet Earth has moved from heat to cold many times over the billions of years it has existed. The summer weather we have this year is just part of the Earth's natural cycle. The Global Warming "Enthusiasts" conveniently forget that areas of the Earth cool down during their winter as well, -- as witnessed during last winter and every winter before that. That again is perfectly natural. Weather is weather, the problem is, that the lifestyle of many people in the civilised world is not geared to seasonal changes and they find coping with "Weather" difficult. Other parts of the world adapt to "Weather" naturally.
There is nothing humans can do to change the Earth's natural cycle, .

It didn’t seem that long ago the climate change lobby where talking about a mini ice age & global cooling with pictures of the Thames & sea areas around our coast freezing. Then it was ‘pull your lawns up & plant palm trees’ due to global warming. I love a good conspiracy theory but I put the weather down to natural phenomena & the rest is ‘global green taxing’ plus ‘pay us loads & our ’research’ will help you raise taxes’👍🏻
