Reconstruction of a long‐term historical daily maximum and minimum air temperature network dataset for Ireland (1831‐1968)
The extension of spatial and temporal coverage of digital daily maximum and minimum air temperature observations is indispensable for a greater understanding of past climate variability. Long‐term…

Abstract. Extreme cold weather events, such as the winter of 1962/63, the third coldest winter ever recorded in the Central England Temperature record, or more recently the winter of 2010/11, have…
An assessment of the possible impacts of climate change on snow and peak river flows across Britain
A temperature-based snow module has been coupled with a grid-based distributed hydrological model, to improve simulations of river flows in upland areas of Britain subject to snowfall and snowmelt.…

Examining the social consequences of extreme weather: the outcomes of the 1946/1947 winter in upland Wales, UK
Extreme forms of weather are predicted to become more frequent experiences in the future. However, the hardest event to mitigate against is the unexpected. In the UK, the occurrence of winter…
The UK winter of 2009/2010 compared with severe winters of the last 100 years
When severe British winters of the last 100 years are considered, those of 19631 and 1947 are usually the first that come to mind. More recent candidates include 1979 and 1982. Should winter 2010 now…
