has been influenced by a very active jet stream, which is driving unsettled weather across the north and west of the UK. The remnants of Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda have interacted with the jet stream, accelerating its flow and contributing to the rapid intensification of the low pressure

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

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

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.

Storm Amy, which formed as a distinct feature in the jet stream partly due to the interaction of Hurricane Imelda and Humberto in the Atlantic, will bring disruptive wind and heavy rain for much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, northwest England and northwest Wales from Friday afternoon

). 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
