Quantifying the risk of persistent extreme weather events in a changing climate

Persistent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold snaps, or particularly rainy and/or stormy seasons have huge socio-economic impact; estimating the probabilities of their occurrence which can inform assessments of health or flood risks is therefore an important task. Read more
