Storms Like Ciarán Are, Becoming ‘More Damaging’ , Due to Climate Change.
On November 1, Ciarán battered the
United Kingdom, becoming one of the
strongest storms ever recorded in western Europe. .
'The Independent' reports that heavy rains and powerful winds caused evacuations, school closures and dangerous travel conditions. .

According to the U.K. Met Office, England and Wales'
mean sea level pressure reading in November
is the lowest since the record was set in 1916.
As a result of the storm rapidly intensifying,
at least seven people in Europe were killed
and dozens of others were injured.

According to the Met Office,
the storm was intensified by a powerful
jet stream sweeping in from the Atlantic ocean.
Experts warn that extreme weather events have become "more damaging" as a result of the ongoing
climate crisis, 'The Independent' reports.
There are a lot of attribution
studies and other lines of evidence
showing that autumn/winter storms
like this are more damaging
because of climate change, Dr. Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science
at Imperial College London, via 'The Independent'.
That’s because the rainfall
associated with these types
of storms is more severe due
to climate change, and the storm
surges are higher and thus more
damaging due to the higher sea levels, Dr. Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science
at Imperial College London, via 'The Independent'.

The Met Office said that storm-related rainfall
has intensified in recent years, and the
trend is likely to continue into the future. .
It is also very likely that the intensity
of these winter storms will increase,
and that rainfall from these events
will result in larger impacts such as
flooding and larger storm surges
alongside the coastal regions, Dr. Melissa Lazenby, lecturer in climate change
at the University of Sussex, via 'The Independent'
