3.2 billion pounds to the uk economy facing the ravages of storm Nelson the British showed tenacious fighting spirit and optimistic spirit undeterred by the bad weather many people still stick to their vacation plans and are ready to face any difficulties and challenges that may arise the British meteorological department pays close
Attention to the storm’s movements and updates weather warning information at any time at the same time transportation operators are also actively responding and doing their best to reduce the impact of the storm on travel rescue workers are always ready to respond to possible emergencies the uk is regularly affected by storms
And the reasons are complex first of all as an island country the uk is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean the north sea and the English channel which makes it particularly vulnerable to strong storms and low pressure systems from the Atlantic Ocean its geographical location determines that it inevitably withstands
The direct attack of powerful weather systems forming in the Atlantic Ocean at the same time the temperate maritime climate zone in which the uk is located although the temperature is relatively mild also means that the weather is changeable and extreme weather events occur from time to time since
The uk is located at the intersection of warm and cold currents in the north Atlantic the interaction of warm and cold air further contributes to the formation of powerful weather systems secondly low pressure systems formed in the Atlantic are often accompanied by strong winds heavy rains and other extreme weather and move northeast
Along the dominant winds eventually hitting various parts of the uk these powerful storms coming from the Atlantic pose a huge threat to the uk at the same time the British Terrain is open and lacks natural barriers to block storms making it easier for strong storms from the Atlantic
To directly hit various parts of the uk and cause widespread damage in addition it is worth mentioning that global climate change in recent years may also have exacerbated the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events in the uk climate warming causes sea surface temperatures to rise providing more heat energy
For severe tropical cyclones making them more powerful at the same time rising temperatures will also increase the risk of drought and wildfires posing additional threats to the uk it cannot be ignored that there are certain deficiencies in the UK’s infrastructure and emergency response systems in dealing with these extreme weather events
Some old buildings and infrastructure are difficult to withstand the impact of strong storms and emergency response systems sometimes struggle to respond to emergencies in a timely and efficient manner what is even more noteworthy is that the long term impacts of climate change may cause the uk to face
More frequent and severe extreme weather events in the future causing huge pressure on its economy society and environment to sum up the uk is frequently hit by storms which is not only affected by its unique geographical location and climatic conditions but also closely related to the long term impact of global climate change
Responding to this challenge requires the British government and society to work together to strengthen infrastructure construction improve emergency response mechanisms and adopt effective climate change mitigation and adaptation measures when a storm hits how to take shelter is crucial first when a severe storm is forecast to hit
It’s crucial to be well prepared at the same time paying close attention to the latest official weather warning information and taking necessary preventive measures accordingly is the key to ensuring personal safety additionally if you have enough time you should consider evacuating to a safe location
