It's kind of hard to say with certainty, as the UK is a fairly small area with fairly specific climate, thanks to the prevailing sou'westerly.
There are various things that have changed year-on-year; distribution of various species of plant and animal, flowering periods of plants and so forth; something I've personally seen is the increasing frequency of sightings of little egrets in the UK over the last 20 years (I saw my first one in St. Ives in 1987!).
Flooding's a bit more difficult; quite apart from all else, there's been a fair old bit of building on flood plains in the last half-century and the middle of the 20th C. was comparatively dry.
Happy Birthday and apologies for the great big Responses-of-Doom below - if you prefer, I'll take this to my lj!
