How will extremes change in future? • There is evidence that extremes may become more frequent in a warmer climate • But extremes are by definition rare • To assess changes in once-a-century storms, need to simulate several centuries • Also need high resolution • Very computationally demanding!
The 1000 year run • We are currently conducting a 1000-year highresolution run to assess changes in extreme windstorms over Europe • First of its kind • Working with partners in the insurance industry to assess how these changes may impact property exposure
