Across large areas of north central France May 2016 had been the wettest recorded since the 1882.[1]

Beginning on the last week-end of 28–29 May an omega block pattern of high pressure developed over the north Atlantic.[2]

World Weather Attribution, (a programme organised by the Climate Central news organisation with academics and scientists from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, University of Melbourne, Oxford University and Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre to accelerate the scientific communities' ability to analyse the role of climate change on extreme weather events)[6] released a preliminary analysis which identified the probability of 3-day extreme rainfall in this season has increased by at least 40 percent in France due to climate change, with estimates of an increase of about 80 percent on the Seine and about 90 percent on the Loire. All four climate model ensembles that simulated the statistical properties of the extremes were found in good overall agreement. Results for Germany were inconclusive.[7] The comparison is based on the trend during the period 1960 to 2016,[7] a period which has seen an increased trend in flooding after a flood poor period.[8] http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jun/10/paris-floods-made-almost-twice-as-likely-by-climate-change-say-scientists

Tor (Gertrude/Marita) edit

Tor set a new measurement record at Kråkenes Lighthouse, where an average wind speed of 48.9 metres per second (176 km/h) recorded, beating the previous Norwegian maximum of 47 m/s.[9] stronger gusts than those during Cyclone Dagmar of 2011, when the station at Kråkenes reported 45.6 metres per second (164 km/h).

Cumbria Flooding edit

In January 2005, more than 1,000 houses and businesses in Carlisle in Cumbria were swamped by water when the city suffered its worst floods since the 1820s. Thousands abandoned their homes and a power cut plunged Carlisle into darkness after the county was battered by heavy rain and winds gusting at up to 90mph. Three people died in the floods.[13]


return periods and defences. whether the way in which flood risks are communicated are misleading, as 1 in 100 year event means 0.1% chance of occurring in any given year, not that it is expected to happen once every hundred years. also about the dynamic nature of the underlying climate conditions[14]http://phys.org/news/2015-12-unprecedented-storms-common.html http://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/dec/09/weatherwtach-ravilious-cumbria-floods-atmospheric-ribbon-katrina-chile

In Germany, where the storm was known as Heini, the effects of the storm were less than anticipated.[15] In Bremen around 1,400 asylum seekers were temporarily moved from tent camps set up due to the ongoing European migrant crisis into schools overnight.[15] The tents, where asylum seekers were living, have a manufacturer maximum wind force rating of 10, but squalls up to force 11 were expected. Several hundred migrants were also moved out of tents in Dresden and Berlin.[15]

Seasonal mean wind speeds ranged from 5.8 knots (10.8 km/h) at Fermoy (Moore Park), Co Cork to 15.2 knots (28.2 km/h) at Mace Head, Co Galway. Autumn’s highest gust and highest 10-minute wind speed were both reported during Storm Barney (on November 17th), the highest gust was 69 knots (128 km/h) at Shannon Airport, its highest autumn gust since 1984. The highest 10-minute wind speed was 53 knots (98 km/h) at Mace Head, its highest for autumn since the station opened in 2007 and Ireland’s highest autumn 10-minute wind speed since 1998.http://www.met.ie/news/display.asp?ID=356 Weather Summaries for Autumn and November 02 December 2015 -http://www.met.ie/climate/monthly-weather-reports.asp

Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NWSOPC">NOAA NWS Ocean Prediction Center</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NWSOPC/posts/898470506878348">Monday, June 29, 2015</a>

Northern Hemisphere summer months tend to be the quietest weather wise across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans (extratropical cyclones), but yesterday across the North Atlantic was a rare exception. A strong low pressure intensified about 20mb in a 24 hour time span, generating hurricane force (HF) winds and significant wave heights approaching 25 feet. A couple of interesting notes pertaining to HF extratropical cyclone activity: - It was the first instance of hurricane force winds across the North Atlantic since April 20 - It was the first June instance of hurricane force winds since 2006

September edit

On 8 September 2015 the Met Office and Met Eireann announced that they were going to begin naming storms as a pilot project during 2015/2016.[19][20] users to suggest names via facebook, email and twitter. names collated into a list alternating male and female names to be used during the winter.

A storm will be named when it is deemed to have the potential to cause ‘medium’ or ‘high’ wind impacts on the UK and/or Ireland, i.e. if a yellow, orange or red warning for wind has been issued by Met Éireann and/or the Met Office.[21]

Seen as a good idea, as informal names have been increasingly used in recent years,[22] especially on social media. Though could be some confusion during storm clusters, though it could increase public awareness of when impacts are likely.[22] Another potential issue could there being various thresholds as to storm strength and regions it could affect, as a high impact storm in densely populated SE generally relatively common in NW scotland, but naming such storms runs the risk of warnings becoming seen as damp squib in the SE.[22]

Clim text edit

Although many areas were affected in winter 2013/4, the actual numbers of flooded properties was less than in previous periods. In summer 2007 United Kingdom floods, over 55,000 homes and around 7,000 businesses were flooded, largely in England. The peak figure for January-February 2014 was over 6,000 flooded properties. Overall the December and early January storms resulted in around 1,700 properties being flooded across England1, and the late January and February storms resulted in more than 6,000 flooded properties[23]

The Autumn floods of 2000 saw the wettest autumn on record across the UK, according to the Met Office, which says that 10,000 homes and businesses were flooded across 700 locations.[24]

2014 flooding saw longer duration of above average rainfall, in contrast to 2007, when much of the damage was done by one really big storm.[24]

If you look at the worst-affected areas, the Midlands had 269% of its average rainfall in June 2007, while south-east/central southern England had 258% of its average rainfall January 2014.[24]

wind and heavy rain

Finally, an examination of the typical synoptic situation producing severe storms in Ireland confirms that it is most often a rapidly developing secondary depression that does the damage. A primary depression, slow moving or stationary in the vicinity of Iceland anchors the airflow and acts as the generator for a rapidly moving wave disturbance. Such a quasistationary depression in the vicinity of Iceland is common in midwinter. The "Icelandic Low' is both a thermal response to the North Atlantic Drift and also a dynamic response to the perturbations induced in the upper westerly airflow as the jetstreams cross the Western Cordillera of North America. Further work is however required to quantify how many severe Irish storms have originated in this way. One of the intriguing research questions related to this is whether the present 'secondary-low' mechanism has always been dominant. Lamb (1991) suggests that the passage ofdeeper. larger-scale features at a greater distance may have been a more frequent occurrence in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Finally, further work is required to ascertain what role sea surface temperature changes may play in Irish storm climatology. This is needed to clarify whether the conditions for cyclogenesis are likely to alter in the North Atlantic as global climate changes take root and the amount of energy that can be liberated as latent heat of condensation in the vicinity of Ireland increases.
