I don't think there has been an increase in storm activity since 1987,
but I do know that is evidence
that precipitation has been getting more intense in recent decades.


There was a definite increase in storminess in the Atlantic and
the UK during 1986-1993 and many people falsely ascribed this to Global
Warming but since then everything has quietened down a bit.
Historically, the stormiest periods in the UK have been
associated with colder epochs, which makes sense since the zone of
greatest temperature moves south. One could therefore make quite a
good case for Global Warming causing less storminess in this region and
in summer there is some evidence that it already has.
