emissions pathway. The change in temperature assumed in the scenario is very similar to the change estimated for London by van Westen et al. (2024). A collapse of the AMOC would also potentially lead to increased sea level in the Atlantic (Levermann et al., 2005) and around the UK, partly through

temperatures over a central area of England stretching between Lancashire, Bristol, and London. The decade of 2002–11 has been a particularly interesting one for CETs, with a number of warm autumns (2009, 2011), along with a number of cold winters (2009/10, 2010/11). The emergent science
