to determine which hazard to prioritise. Hazards may operate on different timescales, such as a seasonal timescale (severe wet season, severe winter, extended heat wave), a monthly timescale (severe wet period, cold, hot period), a weekly timescale (typhoons, hurricanes), a daily timescale

or infrastructure. 12 Figure 5: 2023/2024 storm season up until March 2024 – Autumn 2023 had the most warnings issued on record. 13 The services and outputs from this theme: The National Severe Weather Warning Service The PWS provides the UK’s warnings service which issues timely, accurate and authoritative

and then continually updated through the course of the recovery, which can last for weeks, months or even years. Finally, we need to make our communities and infrastructure more resilient to high impact weather. To do so requires assessment of worst-case scenarios: how bad could it be? The wet winter of 2013

the island can be accessed. “There’s a huge population of puffins on Skerry,” explains James. “We can only visit in autumn once the breeding season is over, and before the winter weather gets too bad.” Skerry is so remote that it can only be reached by helicopter. “Once we’re there we have five

, for temperature is it daily maximum, mean or minimum temperatures that are important and are there critical temperature thresholds (e.g. for human health or for crop yield). For precipitation, which seasons are most important, is the timing of the precipitation important or the total over the season/year

take life jackets, wet weather gear and extra fuel. • If severe weather is forecast, they often postpone or cancel their trips or avoid going out too far in the lake. Passenger/cargo boat operators carry a lighter load. • Rescue services are alerted and put on standby to respond to any emergencies

in the counties. It invests in improved seasonal forecasting techniques to provide better downscaled information with a longer lead time and with updates during the season. A discussion with the project team indicated the potential for a transformation case study showing how the project had improved the funding

conditions apply to the seasonal circulation patterns within the RCM domain may be done using a few seasonal cycles, or even by performing a few single-season runs for the most interesting season (e.g. three three-month runs starting 1st December 1960, 1st December 1961 and 1st December 1962) and averaging
