the introduction of named storms in 2015. “One thing that is clear from observations is that there’s big variability year-to-year in the number and intensity of storms that impact the UK. This large variability is related to the UK’s location at the edge of continental Europe and relatively small geographic size

A bigger shift, however, is required in terms of the fuels used to heat homes. Approximately 74% of the UK’s
