Met Office scientist and lead author Sarah Ineson, said: "This research shows that the regional impacts of a grand solar minimum are likely to be larger than the global effect.
"This study shows that the sun isn't going to save us from global warming, but it could have impacts at a regional level that should be factored in to decisions about adapting to climate change for the decades to come."
Met Office long-range expert professor Adam Scaife said solar activity has already started to decline over the past few years.
He said: "Although the effect on global temperatures is very small, the local effect is big enough to make a difference and we need to include that in our future climate projections."

And this is Adam, the error reduction specialist.

Adam simulated the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation using parameterised gravity waves for the first time in a climate model and his work has reduced some of the major errors in climate model simulations of the atmosphere - for example in reducing the errors in atmospheric 'blocking'. He also demonstrated with colleagues that the Brewer-Dobson circulation and the associated mass transfer across the tropopause is expected to increase under climate change. Adam was recently awarded the Lloyd's of London Science of Risk Research Prize in the Climate Change category.
