My question is simply this. Is such a scenario like this scientifically possible ?

What you describe is not so much a "prophecy" or "vision", but rather something which is very real, what we have for many decades already.
The difference to your vision/dream...really only that in your dream it happens "suddenly, from one day to the other"...but this could be done off as
semantics.
What you describe, TO THE DOT, is the increased danger from UV radiation, caused be the destroyed ozone layer. (The "ozon hole"...which i personally
know of and hear about for several DECADES already)
* It does not get hotter, but the sun's ray's get more intense, "brighter", damaging
* People are advised to stay indoors, buy sun screen etc.
Do me a favor and look up statistics about skin cancer, ESPECIALLY in countries like Australia. Australia in particular due to its location South on
the globe where the hole in the ozone layer is most prevalent. The skin cancer numbers down there are STAGGERING. People are warned and advised about
the sun.
Just two days ago, there was a (in my opinion very panic-ladden) article on CNN about the dangers of the sun, where they went so far as to say that
people need sunscreen even under their clothes, or when "it's clouded" etc. This article made it really sound as if exposure to the sun would be the
most dangerous thing ever, even in tiny/small amounts. Nonsense IMHO - but at least it gives you a general idea that scientists do INDEED warn people
about the UV rays, just like in your dream.
* People put "silver-panels" on the buildings, shut the grid off etc. Well i wish - HOWEVER what you describe are solar panels and they are
increasingly used all over (more here in Europe as compared to the US), all right, but sadly not enough to enable all of us to disconnect from the
grid. I wish tho it were the case tho.
* People buying sunscreen, sunblockers etc. As said above, i hear those things for several decades already, people advising how important it is to use
those things - i myself don't give a #, i live in Spain with extreme sunlight/heat all day...i enjoy it - but i know people who are literally freaking
out and think they need SPF 50 just for 5 minutes in the sun etc..
So..just wanting to point out that i found it odd you ask "if its scientific possible" since (in my opinion) you describe an issue which is debated
for a long time already - UNLESS you are one of those people who believes the reports of a destroyed ozone layer and climatic/atmospheric changes are
not true....or you are otherwise ignorant of the subject and never heard of this before. In this case, i recommend google-ing "ozone hole" and read up
on that topic.
