Future extension of the UK summer and its impact on autumn precipitation

Daniel F. Cotterill et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of climate change on seasonality in the UK. It finds that the frequency of dry summer weather in Autumn will increase, while stormy winter weather will decrease in the future. This change in circulation will lead to a decrease in average Autumn rainfall in England and increase the risk of drought. The study also reveals that the number of large-scale extreme rainfall events will increase due to climate change, but there are variations in the strength of this signal among different climate models.

Investigation of future climate change over the British Isles using weather patterns

James O. Pope et al.

Summary: This study combines Met Office's 30 weather patterns with UKCP Global ensemble to evaluate future climate changes in the UK. The findings indicate an increase in cyclonic and westerly weather patterns in winter, and a shift towards dry settled weather types in summer, aligning with the headline findings of the UK Climate Projections 2018.

Regional Differences in Spatiotemporal Drought Characteristics in Great Britain

Maliko Tanguy et al.

Summary: Although droughts are one of the most damaging natural hazards, they are not well understood in terms of their spatiotemporal dynamics. This study focused on drought events in Great Britain and identified regional differences in drought characteristics. The spatial coherence analysis highlighted the importance of water resource planning and drought management strategies, especially in situations of extreme drought.

The feasibility of inter-basin water transfers to manage climate risk in England

Majed Khadem et al.

Summary: This paper presents a framework for a preliminary climate impacts assessment for inter-basin transfer (IBT) schemes and demonstrates its application under future climate scenarios. The study shows that there would be no ecological harm for the exporting basin under any transfer scenario, but hydrological risks are sensitive to the operation of IBTs.

Complex High- and Low-Flow Networks Differ in Their Spatial Correlation Characteristics, Drivers, and Changes

Manuela I. Brunner et al.

Summary: The study found that low flows exhibit stronger and longer spatial correlations than high flows, with the strongest high- and low-flow networks occurring in spring and the weakest in summer. High-flow dependence is mainly influenced by winter precipitation and summer evapotranspiration, while low-flow dependence is mainly influenced by winter snowmelt and fall evapotranspiration. Spatial flow correlations are significant for both high and particularly low flows, resulting from a combination of spatially related hydro-meteorological drivers whose importance varies by extreme type and season.

Changing climate risk in the UK: A multi-sectoral analysis using policy-relevant indicators

N. W. Arnell et al.

Summary: This paper presents a series of policy-relevant indicators of changing climate hazards and resources for the UK, forecasting increased risks across various sectors including health, transportation, energy, agriculture, flood, and water due to climate change. The study suggests that without adaptation measures, heat extremes, agricultural drought, wildfire danger, and river flood risks will increase significantly. It also highlights the need for resilience policies alongside emissions reduction efforts to address the impacts of climate change in the long term.
