Short summary
Strong winds and heavy precipitation in extratropical cyclones can cause significant damage, and also considerable losses. Here, we estimate the worst case scenarios in terms of impacts that could occur in todays climate resulting from wind and precipitation in extratropical cyclones. We find impacts roughly 1.5 times more severe than any in the historical record for 14 countries considered in Northwestern/Central Europe. These damages would incur costs into the billions of pounds for insurers.
