Understanding the Weather of 2022

Impacts of climate change were only even more evident in 2022, with flash floods, surges, heatwaves and extreme high temperatures, impacting the UK and international communities. In our ' Understanding the Weather of 2022' we bring together a panel of exceptional speakers to share their perspectives on the major weather events of 2022 in the context of a “water” theme. The event brought together speakers from various sectors covering topics such as an overview of the year 2022 in the context of long-term climate change, the heatwaves of 2022 in the UK and Europe, insights on impacts on hydrology and operational challenges from the Environment Agency. The series ended with a description of the UK coastal changes due to significant storms and noticeable storm surges events for the past year and a panel session.
