Abstract
This document outlines the methodology employed by the Climate Extremes Group in the Department of Space and Climate Physics at University College London (UCL) to identify and severity rank UK windstorms for the 45-year period from 1969 to 2013. The UCL methodology is underpinned by a robust UK windstorm definition that is applied to cleaned and homogenised continuous gust observations from 262 low-level station sites spread evenly around the UK. Windstorm catalogues and event severity rankings are provided for the whole UK and, uniquely, for each of 11 UK regions. The product’s background, input data, creation methods and output form are summarised under eight headings. References and appendix figures provide additional information.
