Michael Walsh John Pratt, Mayor of Waterford City and County CEO Waterford City and County Council 4 Executive Summary Climate Change and Adaptation Background Climate change impacts are already being felt globally and academic research has highlighted that climate change trends being observed worldwide are expected to intensify in the coming decades. The most likely risks to Waterford/Ireland are, but not restricted to, extremes in weather events such as increasing precipitation levels, more intensive storms, heatwaves, coldwaves and periods of increasingly heavier snowfalls. These extreme events and other effects from change climate such as rising sea levels will create many new and difficult challenges which will be faced by Waterford City and County Council and the communities that WCCC serve. Climate Change requires a policy response in both: Adaptation to ensure communities, and society as a whole, become resilient to the impacts and risks of climate change. Mitigation to considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (This item will be covered in other policy documents and not this “Adaptation Strategy”).

Extremes for the month ranged from 52 degrees F at Marshall on December 1st to -23 degrees F at Orr on the 12th. Minnesota reported the coldest temperature in the 48 contiguous states on five days during the month. Nearly all observers in the state reported above normal December precipitation, mostly thanks to the winter storms and blizzards on the 8th and 9th and again on the 24th and 25th. Many communities reported three to four times normal December precipitation. Winnebago with 3.05 inches recorded the 2nd wettest December in history, while Lamberton with 3.76 inches also reported their 2nd wettest December in history. Browns Valley in Traverse County reported their wettest December in history with 1.98 inches. Snowfall amounts were well above normal as well. Many climate observers reported over 20 inches. Worthington reported a record amount of snow for December with 34.6 inches, while Fairmont and Lamberton also reported a new record monthly total with 36.3 inches. The blizzard on December 8-9 closed highways and schools in many southeastern communities with winds gusting to 45-50 mph.

  • Notable Tropical Cyclones and Unusual Areas of Tropical Cyclone Formation
    A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land.[1] The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.[3] While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area. Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding. The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float; also compare with Latin fluctus, flumen).

  • Severe Weather Planning Guidance for HSE Services
    Severe Weather Planning Guidance for HSE Services This Guide was updated by the HSE Emergency Management Office HSE National Emergency Management Office Stewarts Care Limited, Stewarts Hospital, Mill Lane, Dublin 20, D20 XT80 Version Version 2 Date October 2019 Review date September 2020 Foreword As has been evidenced in recent years Severe Weather can have a significant impact on HSE service provision. The Government “Be Winter-Ready Information Campaign” provides advice and information to help the public to be better prepared to deal with a period of Severe Weather. The Office of Emergency Planning has prepared a booklet “Be Winter-Ready” and developed a website www.winterready.ie to provide practical advice and contact details of the main services that can provide help in extreme weather-related emergencies. This initiative brings together all the relevant services to provide practical advice to the public. As HSE managers it behooves us to increase the resilience of all key services and mitigate the impact that Severe Weather may have on the day to day running of the HSE. We must keep in mind that Severe Weather will not just impact HSE services; it will impact on other associated businesses those providing service support and those in our supply chain, in Ireland and globally. Therefore we must prepare our services and personnel and undertake detailed contingency planning. To assist managers conduct this Severe Weather planning we have developed a Severe Weather checklist and associated guidance for managers. This new format is flexible and has the adaptability to cater for the diverse range of HSE services and facilities.

Introduction Hurricanes form in the tropical zone of the Atlantic Ocean but their impact is not confined to this zone. Many hurricanes stray well away from the tropics and even a small number have an impact on the weather of Western Europe, mostly in the form of high wind and rainfall events. It must be noted that at this stage they are no longer true hurricanes as they do not have the high wind speeds and low barometric pressures associated with true hurricanes. Their effects on the weather of Western Europe has yet to be fully explored, as they form a very small component of the overall weather patterns and only occur very episodically with some years having several events and other years having none.

Their effects on the weather of Western Europe has yet to be fully explored, as they form a very small component of the overall weather patterns and only occur very episodically with some years having several events and other years having none. This chapter seeks to identify and analyse the impact of the tail-end of hurricanes on the weather of Western Europe since 1960. The chapter will explore the characteristics and pathways of the hurricanes that have affected Western Europe and will also examine the weather conditions they have produced and give some assessment of their impact. In this context 23 events have been identified of which 21 originated as hurricanes and two as tropical storms (NOAA, 2010).

Introduction Hurricanes and tropical storms that form in the tropical Atlantic, usually from August to October, which is the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, are occasionally picked up by the North Atlantic jet stream and swept north-eastwards towards Europe. By the time they reach Ireland, they are usually no longer classified as hurricanes, having transi- tioned into what are known as post or extra-tropical storms but can be quite powerful and damaging. Extra-Tropical Storm Ophelia (also known as Storm Ophelia) was not the only tropical system to affect Ireland in the 2017-2018 windstorm season. The remnants of Hurricane Gert and Nate had already brought heavy rainfall and flooding to some parts of Ireland in August and October but little in the way of wind. Ophelia is the farthest east Major Hurricane (Category 3 or higher) on record in the Atlantic Basin. It made landfall over Ireland as an extra-tropical storm on the morning of the 16th October 2017 resulting in observed wind speeds of up to 156 km/h, in a (3-second mean) gust, at Roche’s Point station, County Cork.

  • Chapter 15 100 Years of Progress in Tropical Cyclone Research
    CHAPTER 15 EMANUEL 15.1 Chapter 15 100 Years of Progress in Tropical Cyclone Research KERRY EMANUEL Lorenz Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts ABSTRACT A century ago, meteorologists regarded tropical cyclones as shallow vortices, extending upward only a few kilometers into the troposphere, and nothing was known about their physics save that convection was somehow involved. As recently as 1938, a major hurricane struck the densely populated northeastern United States with no warning whatsoever, killing hundreds. In the time since the American Meteorological Society was founded, however, tropical cyclone research blossomed into an endeavor of great breadth and depth, encompassing fields ranging from atmospheric and oceanic dynamics to biogeochemistry, and the precision and scope of forecasts and warnings have achieved a level of success that would have been regarded as impossible only a few decades ago. This chapter attempts to document the extraordinary progress in tropical cyclone research over the last century and to suggest some avenues for productive research over the next one. 1. Introduction As valuable as these contributions were, almost nothing was known about the vertical structure of tropical cyclones, By the time that the American Meteorological Society or the basic physical mechanism that drives them. Indeed, (AMS) was founded in 1919, mariners, engineers, and up through the 1930s, it was widely believed, on the basis scientists had made great strides in characterizing the of the observed rapid diminution of surface winds after climatology of tropical cyclones, including their favored landfall, that their circulation extended upward only 3 km formation regions, tracks, seasonal variability, and sur- or so, while the reigning theory for their power source was face wind field.
