The future threat of hailstorms

Discover how a single hailstorm can reshape communities, challenge insurers, and signal a future of more frequent extreme events.

This snapshot takes you inside the story of the May 2023 Newcastle hailstorm — a sudden, devastating event that caused millions in losses and thousands of claims. You’ll examine how shifting climate patterns are making catastrophic hail more frequent and unpredictable, what this means for vulnerable communities, and how the insurance industry can respond. From analysing the risks to rethinking product design, claims handling, and customer resilience, this snapshot invites you to reflect on your role in helping the sector weather the storms of tomorrow.
