1 MAKING IRELAND WEATHER AND CLIMATE PREPARED Helping Irish society to be ready for and responsive to weather and climate risks Eoin Moran Director

2 AN ERA OF CHANGE and weather is changing Societal vulnerability is increasing The nature of weather information is changing 2

3 GLOBAL CLIMATE IS CHANGING Ocean Heat Content Joules 10 Average Temperature C Atmospheric CO 2 C Greater than 90 % of the warming that has happened over the past 50 years has occurred in the ocean Temperature during 2016 was 1.1 C above the preindustrial period. Carbon dioxide reached >400.0 ±0.1 parts per million in the atmosphere. From: NOAA climate.gov & WMO (2017) 3

4 EXTREME WEATHER

5 THE GREAT ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE AND EXPERTISE 3 day forecast Forecast Quality: RMS error of 500 hpa height field, Northern Hemisphere 5 day forecast 7 day forecast 10 day forecast Adapted from: ECMWF 5
