Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Numerical weather prediction output necessitates calibration, as weather model systems are unable to replicate the correct statistics of observations. Such processing is especially important when predicting extreme weather. Calibration methods function by learning from prediction inadequacies during a training phase and by exploiting this information ...

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

FLEMOflash – Flood Loss Estimation MOdels for companies and households affected by flash floods [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesIn light of the increasing losses from flash floods intensified by climate change, there is a critical need for improved loss models. Loss assessments predominantly focus on fluvial flood processes, leaving a significant gap in understanding the key ...

Assessing the contribution of precipitation to urban flood inundation using a hydraulic modelling approach [PDF]
, 2011 Improving the capacity to model urban flood inundation was identified by Wheater (2002) as a key priority within contemporary flood risk science. Although an increasing emphasis has been placed upon urban environments within flood modelling studies ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Precipitation growth and decay due to orography was analyzed using the radar network in Great Britain. Storm direction and speed modulate the intensity of precipitation growth or decay. Windward slopes predominantly exhibit precipitation growth, while leeward areas show precipitation decay.

Characteristics of quasi‐stationary band‐shaped precipitation systems in Japan between 1989 and 2022
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.(a) Annual occurrence frequency of QBPSs (green bars), five‐years moving average (blue line), and regression trend (red line) for 1989–2022. (b) Distribution of the geographical occurrence frequencies of QBPSs with a 5‐km resolution for 1989–2022. Quasi‐stationary band‐shaped precipitation systems (QBPSs) are a major cause of localized heavy rainfall ...

Flash flood risk management: Advances in hydrological forecasting and warning
, 2009 Implementation of flood warning systems and community self-help programs is one of the most effective way to mitigate the flash flood risk. In many instances, these are the only affordable and sustainable management approaches.
