We know climate change is making our weather more extreme so that when it rains, that rain tends to be heavier with a greater chance of causing flooding.
It is more difficult to link storms to climate change.
The UK has a history of impactful storms stretching back hundreds of years, long before the introduction of named storms in 2015.
Met Office scientist Emily Carlisle says: “There is some evidence that storms with strong winds (windstorms) will become slightly more frequent in the future in north-west Europe and also become more clustered, so that we experience several storms one after the other.”
Scientists are more confident that the coastal impacts of windstorms, from storm surges and high waves, will worsen as the sea level rises.
