This paper will look at a selection of storms from the winter of 2013/2014 that led to coastal flooding in parts of England and Wales. The first part will examine events in early December that caused the most significant North Sea storm surge for over 60 years, as well as coastal flooding in northwest England and North Wales. The second part will discuss several Atlantic storms that produced coastal flooding along west and south coasts of England and Wales. Brief discussions about modelling capability and performance will be included. However, pluvial and fluvial flooding during this period will not be considered; this is discussed elsewhere (Kendon and McCarthy, 2015; Lewis et al., 2015; Muchan et al., 2015). This study will be of general interest to meteorologists and climatologists. It will also show how effective modelling, forecasting and warnings, together with emergency planning and work to strengthen coastal defences, has helped to protect lives and property.
