2 Hail exposure and risk management in crop production Global view and focus on South Africa Holger Schwarz
3 Statement The South African farmer is ever more exposed to hail and other natural perils. Therefore he needs a comprehensive insurance cover as a risk management tool. How can this be achieved in South Africa? Hail exposure and risk management in crop production Global view and focus on South Africa / Holger Schwarz

10 Observed changes in annual number of warm days Brown to red colors indicate increasing linear trend of 1-3 days per decade since Warm days are defined as the annual percentage of days when the daily maximum temperature exceeds the 90th percentile within the reference period Donat et al., 2013 Hail exposure and risk management in crop production Global view and focus on South Africa / Holger Schwarz
11 Basic physics: How does atmospheric moisture respond to increasing temperature? Physically determined relationship between temperature and humidity: per 1 C warming the moisture content (saturated air) increases by ~7% Source: Willett et. al. (2013), Clim. Past, 9, Black dots: significant trend Hail exposure and risk management in crop production Global view and focus on South Africa / Holger Schwarz
12 Extreme events (cont.) Severe thunderstorms (hail, gusts, tornadoes) Observation: Some studies show increases in large hail / hail at all in Europe or America (France, Italy, Germany, Canada), others have mixed signals (Argentina, USA) or decreases (China). AR5 assessment: There is low confidence in observed trends in small-scale events (data inhomogeneities, inadequate monitoring systems). Projection: Increased potential convective energy(humidity-driven), decreased shear (N-America) increase in fraction of severe thunderstorms with non-tornadic winds (But: new paper von Diffenbaugh et al., August 2013: shear not decreased, more tornadic storms) AR5 assessment: Overall, for all parts of the world, the results are suggestive of a trend toward environments favouring more severe thunderstorms, but small number of studies precludes any likelihood assessment of this change.

Steuer, Weather, Climate, and Society, March 2013, DOI: /WCAS-D Hail exposure and risk management in crop production Global view and focus on South Africa / Holger Schwarz
14 Changing severe hailstorm frequency in Europe Number of days with hail damage (SV Stuttgart) Condensation of water vapor releases heat energy. Higher loads of moisture more severe / frequent convection & thunderstorms. Observational studies in Europe: Trentino (Italian Alps): Increase in total kinetic energy of extremely strong hail events (90th percentile) (Eccel et al., 2012). Potential for strong convection is rising strongest France: increase in hail intensity by 70% between (Berthet et al., 2011). Southwest Germany: Substantial increase in available energy for severe thunderstorm genesis (Kunz et al., 2009) (data) source: M. Kunz et al. (2009), Int. Journal of Climatology

28 Part 4 - Summary and Conclusions for South Africa
29 Summary and Conclusions for South Africa The South African farmer is ever more exposed to hail and other natural perils like Storm, Flood and Drought. Therefore he needs a comprehensive insurance cover as a risk management tool, reflected by the development from hail to MPCI cover in many countries. A Public-Private-Partnership between Government and insurance industry is needed in South Africa!
