The onset of cold weather leads to an almost immediate increase in weather-related deaths which can remain raised for up to four weeks after. Deaths from cardiovascular conditions peak first, followed by stroke and then respiratory conditions. Negative health effects start at relatively moderate outdoor mean temperatures of 4 to 8°C. Flooding and health This is the average height of the waves, 1-2 miles out to sea. The height of the waves can vary. The There will be an increasing tendency towards cooler conditions, however in the southern parts of England and Wales we’ve got the prospect of heavy rain coming in. We’re saying there is a significant rain warning from 9pm on Thursday through to midnight on Friday, and we can expect 20 to 30mm in some places in a couple of hours. Even up to 50, 60 or possibly up to 70mm across the high ground of Wales.” individual waves out to sea or at the beach can be higher than this number. If you are close to the

The research, published in Nature Communications , found that under a high emissions scenario (RCP 8.5) rainfall events in the UK exceeding 20mm/hr could be four times as frequent by 2080 compared to the 1980s. Previous coarser model output (12km) predicted an increase of around two and a half times in the same period. Another concern is apparent sudden transitions to a much higher frequency of extreme events illustrated by the model output. This would suggest a sudden increase in the numbers of extreme rainfall events, outside of the experience of recent decades. If this scenario did happen it could lead to impacts where infrastructure was unprepared for such a change in our weather.” The effects of climate change on cold-related illness and deaths could have some benefits, but projections suggest that the total number of cold-related deaths each year is unlikely to decline significantly due to issues like poor housing and fuel poverty. An important role for UKHSA is to monitor the health effects of adverse weather, and our changing climate more generally, and provide advice and guidance on how we can adapt to meet these challenges head on.Many people might be wondering if a warming UK climate means that there will be less illness and death caused by cold weather in future.

This summer UKHSA will publish the Health Effects of Climate Change, a landmark report produced periodically and last published in 2012. This will bring together the latest UK climate change projections and an assessment of the range of health risks. An example of an intense rainfall event with 20mm/hr is London in July 2021, when 40mm of rain fell over three hours at Kew Gardens, flooding the underground and other infrastructure. beach will be from these waves.

But as scientists working to protect people’s health, we know that not everyone copes well as the temperature rises, and periods of hot weather are linked to increasing health risks, as well as increased pressure on our health and social care system. The health hazards of heat Flooding also has extensive and significant impacts on health including direct effects like skin and gut infections from exposure to contaminated flood water.No risk of UV - It’s safe to stay outside. 1-2 Low - You can safely stay outside. Consider sunscreen in direct sunlight. 3-5 Moderate - Take care during midday hours and do not spend too much time in the sun unprotected. Sunscreen advised. 6-7 High - Seek shade during midday hours, cover up and wear sunscreen. 8-10 Very high - Spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm. Shirt, sunscreen and hat are essential. 11 Extreme - Avoid being outside during midday hours. Shirt, sunscreen and hat essential. This increase was found to differ across the UK. When looking regionally, future changes in extreme rainfall events could be almost 10 times more frequent in Northwest Scotland in 2080 compared to the 1980s, whilst in the south of the UK the value is closer to three times more frequent. Both cold weather and flooding are linked to respiratory disease from mould and damp. What’s the impact of our changing climate? As the atmosphere warms it can hold more moisture, at a rate of 7% more moisture for every degree of warming. On a simple level, this explains why in many regions of the world projections show an increase in precipitation as a consequence of human induced climate change.

This means that even though average temperatures are expected to increase, cold will remain a significant public health problem in the years to come. Protecting communities and public services from adverse weather Adverse weather matters for our health: there is a strong evidence base showing us that periods of very hot or cold weather or flooding present a wide range of direct and indirect health risks. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapour, the humidity will be Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland could reach as low as -3C (26.6F). The south of England and Wales could see about two inches of rain on Thursday and Friday, and the Met Office is warning of possible thunderstorms, flooding and travel delays.We know that climate change is making these problems worse, increasing the number of adverse weather events, with these events becoming more frequent and intense in the years ahead. Professor Kendon added: “This is the first time that such a high resolution data set has spanned over a century. As well as being a valuable asset for planners and policy makers to prepare for the future, it can also be used by climate attribution scientists to examine current extreme rainfall events to see how much more likely they will have been because of human greenhouse gas emissions.
