Làn Thìde is embarking on an art project which will combine local people’s lived experiences of stormy weather with Met Office analysis of how winter storms are likely to change in future. This will be developed into a climate Storyline for the Outer Hebrides, and used to help us thinking about climate change and how it will affect our islands and communities.

If you would like to share a story about any storms or stormy weather you have experienced in the Outer Hebrides, then we would love to hear from you!

If you work in fishing or crofting please contact us directly as we are particularly interested in hearing about your experience. If you would like to be involved but can’t make the online discussions, please contact us via the email below and we can set up and individual call or visit. If you prefer to share stories in Gaelic that would be most welcome -please let us know!
