Future-proofing retrofits against risks from climate change

Projected wind-driven rain in the United Kingdom

Under the Climate Change Act (2008) the government is required to adapt to the risks posed by climate change.

While there is existing guidance based on historical wind-driven rain data, changes to future wind-driven rain are an evidence gap addressed by this study.

This study has used the latest UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) to model changes in projected wind-driven rain for 2°C and 4°C warming scenarios.
