The Royal Meteorological Society teamed up with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to host an online meeting (16 November 2023) on the links between weather and safety at our coastal regions. The meeting reviewed the ways in which weather, including extremes, can contribute to mishaps and deaths, and how bad outcomes can be reduced or avoided. It also considered how climate change might affect coastal risks and the ability to respond to these.

Antarctic sea ice is a vitally important part of the regional and global climate. In 2023, sea ice extent fell to record lows, reaching unprecedented values for both the summer minimum, winter maximum and intervening freeze-up period. Here, we show that the extreme values observed were truly remarkable within the context of the satellite record, despite the challenge of quantifying how rare such an event might be, and discuss some contributing factors. While this could be part of a decline in sea ice associated with human-caused climate change, it is too early to say conclusively if this is the case.

Industrieschnee or anthropogenic snowfall is a local winter hazard in many European cities and towns under suitable anticyclonic conditions and in the vicinity of persistent local water vapour sources and air pollution. Here, we overview the formation of Industrieschnee and describe a case study event from Bern, Switzerland, comparing the estimated mass of snow deposited with the water vapour emissions from a local incinerator. We speculate that previous European Industrieschnee events may have been considerably under‐reported, or falsely attributed to surface hoar frost (reif) or the accretion of rime (raureif).

Anthropogenic (industrial) snowfalls in the UK have hitherto been regarded as rare and extremely localised. This article analyses the distribution and possible causes of three ‘stripes’ of anthropogenic snow extending up to 10 km from the vicinity of London’s Heathrow airport on 23 January 2023. The early morning had been exceptionally cold at the airport, partly due to the relatively late arrival of freezing fog compared to other parts of the lower Thames valley. This is likely to have facilitated the formation of the snowfall by means of ice nuclei.
