Alongside @hcbloomfield19.bsky.social, we've written an insight as to why the insurance industry is impacted by, and requires an understanding of, weather and climate. Check it out in the post below👇👇

Excited to announce our #EGU26 session on Climate Risk Assessment for Finance & Insurance Sectors with @mattpriestley.bsky.social A. Ciullo @hcbloomfield19.bsky.social @natalieslord.bsky.social meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio... @iiasa.ac.at @riskkan.bsky.social @lamont.columbia.edu

1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C. Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

It's the final day of #EGU25 but that doesn't mean all the fun is over. Our session "Weather and Climate Science Insights for the Insurance and Financial Sectors" is this afternoon! Posters,14.00-15.45,X3.49-60 Orals,16.15-18.00,1.31/32 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Great new insight into the dynamics of clustering events for western Europe!

Big storms in Feb 2022 linked to the strong polar vortex. Our research published in @commsearth.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s43..., led by @universityofleeds.bsky.social & @metoffice.bsky.social For a 'Behind the Paper' read of our work, check out the blog post: go.nature.com/3QSl4bE

What better way to spend three days in July than by coming to Manchester for this year's @rmets.org Annual Weather and Climate Conference? 😁 Please consider submitting an abstract – deadline 14 February. We look forward to seeing you there! More details: www.rmets.org/annualconfer...

Want to flag (and credit) the original version of this (www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...). With this figure (that I created w/ Dan Bannister@WTW) we wanted to contextualise the potential severity of Éowyn in the ERA5 historical record. Follow the link to read more about this Exeter/WTW research.

The UK windstorm season 2024/25 has seen a fairly active start (Bert, Darragh). In the future we expect these storms to be more frequent and intense, but by how much? Well in a new paper, we've tried to answer this... rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Forced trends and internal variability in climate change projections of extreme European windstorm frequency and severity

This study provides an assessment of changes to European windstorm severity and frequency in a warming climate. The results show increases in storm average and aggregate severity for western Europe, ....

Great read and agree with the message entirely. Especially when you consider that for some regions the highest EffCS models offer the most realistic representation of the historical climate (esd.copernicus.org/articles/14/... @tammy-minnie.bsky.social )

Performance-based sub-selection of CMIP6 models for impact assessments in Europe

Abstract. We have created a performance-based assessment of CMIP6 models for Europe that can be used to inform the sub-selection of models for this region. Our assessment covers criteria indicative of...

Don’t miss out climate models from regional impacts studies just because they have high climate sensitivity! We (Swaminathan et al) find EffCS is not a good constraint on regional impacts So, you could miss out important and realistic information agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

How climate risks are driving up insurance premiums around the US. Across all US counties, those in the top fifth for climate-driven disaster risk saw home premiums leap by 22% in just three years to 2023, compared to an overall average of a 13% rise in real terms. https://buff.ly/49vomdl

Meteorological eye-candy. Close-up view of the 955mb low deepening this afternoon off the PacNW coast.

Natural hazards friends! Ever thought about working in insurance but no idea where to start? I’ve put together a beginners guide to the insurance industry with the Royal Meteorological Society: www.rmets.org/news/atmosph...
