The Recent Storms and Floods in the UK
This winter the UK has been affected very severely by an exceptional run of winter
storms, culminating in serious coastal damage and widespread, persistent flooding.
This period of weather has been part of major perturbations to the Pacific and North
Atlantic jet streams.
December and January were exceptionally wet. For England and Wales this was one
of, if not the most, exceptional periods of winter rainfall in at least 248 years. During
January and into February the tracks of the storms fell at a relatively low latitude,
giving severe gales along the south and west coasts and pushing the bulk of the
ocean wave energy toward the southwest of Ireland and England.
In a series from 1883, flow rates on the River Thames remained exceptionally high
for longer than in any previous flood episode. Correspondingly, floodplain inundations
were extensive and protracted.
Sea level along the English Channel has already risen during the20th century due to
ocean warming and melting of glaciers. With the warming we are already committed
to over the next few decades, a further overall 11-16cm of sea level rise is likely by
2030, relative to 1990, of which at least two-thirds will be due to the effects of climate
change.
There is an increasing body of evidence that extreme daily rainfall rates are
becoming more intense, and that the rate of increase is consistent with what is
expected from fundamental physics. There is no evidence to counter the basic
premise that a warmer world will lead to more intense daily and hourly heavy rain
events.
More research is urgently needed to deliver robust detection of changes in
storminess and daily/hourly rain rates. The attribution of these changes to global
warming requires climate models of sufficient resolution to capture storms and their
associated rainfall. Such models are now becoming available and should be
deployed as soon as possible to provide a solid evidence base for future investments
in flood and coastal defences.
