Mega-droughts. Long-lasting heat waves. Flooded coastal cities. These are the weather scenarios for 2050 from a series of imaginary yet realistic reports from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that predict of future of warmer, wetter and wilder weather.

As part of Climate Week, The Weather Channel is airing a special edition of "Weather Center Live: Weather 2050" on Monday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. ET.The hour-long special will explore how the changing climate will reshape the world's weather just a few decades from now. The Weather Channel will present expert analysis fromsevere weather expert Dr. Greg Forbes, hurricane specialists Bryan Norcross and Michael Lowry and winter weather expert Tom Niziol on how extreme weather events could look in future.

The show follows a video campaign the World Meteorological Organizationlaunched in the summer to support U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon’s call for government and business leaders to agree to ambitious action on climate change at the U.N. Climate Summit on Sept. 23 in New York.

"Miami South Beach is under water," Sam Champion of The Weather Channel says in the first "weather reports from the future." TV personalities from around the world, also including Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel, appear in the videos.

"Climate change is affecting the weather everywhere. It makes it more extreme and disturbs established patterns. That means more disasters; more uncertainty," the secretary-general said in a statement.

The 2013 U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report concluded that it's at least 95 percent probable that human activity, rather than natural variations in the climate, has been the main cause of global warming since 1950.
