as the 99.7th percentile skew surge or wave climatology at each site. This percentile was chosen to reflect a once a year event, with the assumption made that local coastal defences should be able to cope with events that occur more frequently than this. Example – Coastal risk surge patterns at Lowestoft
– for example knowing the snow is only going to fall above 200 metres - the Met Office is absolutely spot on with this. As we continue to see climate change impact our weather, how important is the Met Office data? The flooding in Carlisle in 2005 was described as a once in a 1,000-year flood

that does fall in summer will likely be more intense than what we currently experience. For example, rainfall from an event that typically occurs once every 2 years in summer is expected to increase by around 25%. This will impact on the frequency and severity of surface water flooding, particularly
to human influence. What was an event with a return period of 100 years in the 20 th century should now be expected to occur, on average, once every 70 years or less. This trend is expected to continue over the 21st century. Van der Wiel et al 2017 2013 Summer heatwave, China Summer 2013

Exceptional warmth, September 2016 A brief heatwave from 12 to 15 September brought exceptionally high temperatures to southeast England, accompanied by some torrential downpours causing flash flooding. On 13 September, Gravesend (Kent) recorded 34.4 °C, the UK's highest temperature of the year
