Because the implications of climate change for future such storm activity in Europe are not yet clear, RMS examined this event in the context of the long-term historical average of storm activity. On this basis, according to the RMS® Europe XXXXXXXXX XXXXX such a loss has a return period of around XX years. If the same storm followed a slightly more unfortunate path, U.K. losses would be in the range £X billion and £X billion. Although the meteorological conditions during this violent storm were locally unprecedented, other less severe but more widespread events can cause more catastrophic insured losses, as demonstrated by
Windstorm XXXXX, XXX and a half years later.
