Report by AtkinsRealis on behalf of Oxfordshire County Council April 2024

The report presents a gridded analysis of extreme temperatures and maximum daily rainfall in Oxfordshire under current conditions and future scenarios based on Met Office data.

It considers the consequences of these events and how risks may evolve under several climate change scenarios with a further one to four degrees warming above the 1981-2020 period.

The study is based on a literature review, original analysis of observations and climate change scenarios to quantify the risks of extreme high temperatures and heavy rainfall in Oxfordshire.

Climate resilience report by AtkinsRealis on behalf of Oxfordshire County Council April 2024

The purpose of this report is to provide OCC with an understanding of the current and future risks posed by climate-related hazards with regards to four key thematic areas; 1) critical infrastructure, 2) health, communities
and the built environment, 3) natural environment and assets and 4) business and industry.

The report provides an overall characterisation of the county and a baseline assessment of the climate in recent years and a timeline of climate-related events since 2000 and impacts in Oxfordshire. Current risk from
climate-related hazards is explored nationally and for Oxfordshire, investigating the current impact of heatwaves, flooding, drought, low temperatures and high winds and storms using bespoke risk mapping and existing quantitative and qualitative sources.
