natural variability and climate change. It has already been demonstrated that skillful multi-year predictions of Atlantic hurricane frequency can be produced (Smith et al. 2010). Much more remains to be done to exploit the regional information in decadal forecasts and indeed in climate predictions

for most, with only scattered showers and mist. August ended with unsettled weather as low pressure brought outbreaks of rain, some heavy, to much of the country. The 25th and 26th saw increased rainfall along the west coast of the UK as the remnants of Hurricane Erin arrived. Temperatures returned

system (known as GloSea) is used to forecast the number of tropical storms (including hurricanes) and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the Atlantic sector in the period July to November 2009. Recent research has shown that the skill of dynamical systems such as GloSea is challenging or even

). A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with mean wind speeds of at least 39 m.p.h. The terms hurricane and typhoon are region-specific names for strong tropical cyclones with wind speeds of more than 73 m.p.h. The North Atlantic tropical storm season usually runs from June to November. The degree

and common understanding. Everyone knows what you mean by Hurricane Katrina for example, you know the magnitude and impacts that had on America. But if you said ‘the low pressured cyclone’ it would not resonate as much. By naming storms, this will help everyone be better prepared

in recent decades. (However, other storms, while less extensive, may have been much more severe - such as 16 October 1987). One of the most notable autumn storms of recent decades was 27 October 2002, while ex-hurricane Ophelia on 16 October 2017 also brought some very strong winds to western parts of the UK and Ireland.

since the Boxing Day storm of 1988. Like Ashley, Eowyn underwent explosive deepening as it approached the UK, driven by the dynamics of the jet stream. The storm brought hurricane-force winds, red warnings, and phenomenal sea states, particularly around the Irish Sea. Large waves and beach material

of Venezuela and Colombia are likely to experience above normal rainfall. Tropical cyclones – The North Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on 1 June. Early forecasts for the season show that above normal activity is most likely. Tropical Cyclone outlook: Information can be found here. 3
