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.
