that there is an 80% chance that there will be 12 or less named storms. The climate model signal is associated with a predicted cooling trend in sea surface temperatures in the Pacific and tropical North Atlantic that influence storm activity. To assess the accuracy of the new system, similar forecasts have been run

Northern Ireland: climate Northern Ireland consists of the six counties of Antrim, Armagh, Londonderry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone. These encompass a variety of topographical features. The inland basin centred on Lough Neagh (the largest lake in the UK, with an area of 385 sq km) is surrounded

to understand of how climate change influences the frequency and intensity of extreme weather. This information is regarded as critical to assessing and developing strategies for managing and mitigating the impacts of climate change on local communities (IPCC, 2012). Many climate change impact

/ dry season) over the cycle of the year. The climate can also naturally vary between different years due to the process of Earth system cycles, especially those associated with large circulations of the atmosphere and oceans. Examples of this kind of variability over years include major influencing

influence Europe’s climate. The consequences of such changes for the world, Europe and the UK could be profound. Preparing for the worst impacts The paper makes several key points: Climate outcomes or events that have a high impact are a key component of climate risk, even if their likelihood is low

. For both these sets of simulations, we cannot be sure of the relative influence of the climate change signal compared to natural variability. The extended exploratory time-mean sea level projections have much lower confidence than the 21 st Century Projections. They are designed to be used alongside

in the air. Hotter, drier summers in the UK are also likely to increase emissions from wildfires, exacerbating air pollution.  Moreover, certain pollutants, like ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), are radiatively active, meaning they can influence the climate by providing additional warming
