1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C. Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

It's the final day of #EGU25 but that doesn't mean all the fun is over. Our session "Weather and Climate Science Insights for the Insurance and Financial Sectors" is this afternoon! Posters,14.00-15.45,X3.49-60 Orals,16.15-18.00,1.31/32 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Great new insight into the dynamics of clustering events for western Europe!

Want to flag (and credit) the original version of this (www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...). With this figure (that I created w/ Dan Bannister@WTW) we wanted to contextualise the potential severity of Éowyn in the ERA5 historical record. Follow the link to read more about this Exeter/WTW research.

The UK windstorm season 2024/25 has seen a fairly active start (Bert, Darragh). In the future we expect these storms to be more frequent and intense, but by how much? Well in a new paper, we've tried to answer this... rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Great read and agree with the message entirely. Especially when you consider that for some regions the highest EffCS models offer the most realistic representation of the historical climate (esd.copernicus.org/articles/14/... @tammy-minnie.bsky.social )

How climate risks are driving up insurance premiums around the US. Across all US counties, those in the top fifth for climate-driven disaster risk saw home premiums leap by 22% in just three years to 2023, compared to an overall average of a 13% rise in real terms. https://buff.ly/49vomdl
