2023–24 European windstorm season

{{Main article|Weather system naming in Europe}}

There is no universal definition of what constitutes a windstorm in Europe, nor is there a universally accepted system of naming storms. For example, in the Western Group, consisting of the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands, a storm is named if one of the meteorological agencies in those countries issues an orange warning (amber in the UK), which generally requires a likelihood of widespread sustained wind speeds greater than 65 km/h (40 mph), or widespread wind gust speeds over 110 km/h (70 mph). (Required wind speeds vary slightly by agency and by season.) Both the likelihood of impact and the potential severity of the system are considered when naming a storm.{{Cite web |title=Weather Warnings Explanation |url=https://www.met.ie/weather-warnings |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230219011501/https://www.met.ie/weather-warnings |archive-date=19 February 2023 |access-date=18 February 2023 |website=Met Éireann The Irish Meteorological Service |publisher=Met Éireann}}{{Cite web |title=UK Storm Centre |url=https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-storm-centre/index |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211127162229/https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-storm-centre/index |archive-date=27 November 2021 |access-date=18 February 2023 |website=Met Office |publisher=UK Met Office}}{{Cite web |title=KNMI waarschuwingen |url=https://www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/uitleg/knmi-waarschuwingen |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230217050524/https://www.knmi.nl/kennis-en-datacentrum/uitleg/knmi-waarschuwingen |archive-date=17 February 2023 |access-date=19 February 2023 |publisher=KNMI |language=nl}} The Southwest Group of Spain, Portugal, and France share a similar storm-naming scheme, though their names differ from those used by the Western Group.{{Cite journal |date=September 2018 |title=Storm naming: the First Season of Naming by the South-west Group: Spain-Portugal-France |url=http://euroforecaster.org/newsletter23/Newsletter.pdf |url-status=dead |journal=The European Forecaster (Newsletter of the WGCEF) |issue=23 |pages=33–37 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230102032832/http://euroforecaster.org/newsletter23/Newsletter.pdf |archive-date=2 January 2023 |access-date=19 February 2023 |author-last1=Leitao |author-first1=Paula |author-last2=Roulet |author-first2=Bernard |author-last3=Rey |author-first3=Jaime}} In Greece, however, naming criteria were established for storms when the storm's forecast winds are above 50 km/h (30 mph) over land, with the wind expected to have a significant impact to infrastructures.{{Cite journal |date=2021 |title=Storm Naming in the Eastern Mediterranean: Procedures, Events Review and Impact on the Citizens Risk Perception and Readiness |journal=Atmosphere |volume=12 |issue=11 |page=1537 |bibcode=2021Atmos..12.1537K |doi=10.3390/atmos12111537 |doi-access=free |author-last1=Kotroni |author-first1=V. |author-last2=Lagouvardos |author-first2=K. |author-last3=Bezes |author-first3=A. |author-last4=Dafis |author-first4=S. |author-last5=Galanaki |author-first5=E. |author-last6=Giannaros |author-first6=C. |author-last7=Giannaros |author-first7=T. |author-last8=Karagiannidis |author-first8=A. |author-last9=Koletsis |author-first9=I. |author-last10=Kopania |author-first10=T. |author-last11=Papagiannaki |author-first11=K. |author-last12=Papavasileiou |author-first12=G. |author-last13=Vafeiadis |author-first13=V. |author-last14=Vougioulas |author-first14=E.}} In Denmark, a windstorm must have an hourly average windspeed of at least 90 km/h (55 mph).{{Cite web |title=Storms in Denmark since 1891 |url=https://www.dmi.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/Bruger_upload/Stormlisten/STORMS_IN_DENMARK_SINCE_1891.pdf |access-date=25 June 2023 |website=dmi.dk}}

The Meteorology Department of the Free University of Berlin (FUB) names all high and low pressure systems that affect Europe, though they do not assign names to any actual storms.{{Cite web |date=23 September 2013 |title=Naming the Weather: Institute of Meteorology at Freie Universität Assigns Names to Weather Highs and Lows for the Year Ahead: Starting 25 September 2013 |url=https://www.fu-berlin.de/en/presse/informationen/fup/2013/fup_13_276/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230209051216/https://www.fu-berlin.de/en/presse/informationen/fup/2013/fup_13_276/index.html |archive-date=9 February 2023 |access-date=19 February 2023 |website=Freie Universität Berlin Office of Communication and Marketing |publisher=Freie Universität Berlin}} A windstorm that is associated with one of these pressure systems will at times be recognized by the name assigned to the associated pressure system by the FUB. Named windstorms that have been recognized by a European meteorological agency are described in this article.

Naming conventions used in Europe are generally based on conditions that are forecast, not conditions that have actually occurred, as public awareness and preparedness are often cited as the main purpose of the naming schemes–for example, a reference. Therefore, an assignment of a storm name does not mean that a storm will actually develop.

In 2015, the Met Office and Met Éireann announced a project to name storms as part of the "Name our Storms" project for windstorms and asked the public for suggestions. The meteorological offices produced a full list of names for 2015–2016 through 2017–2018, common to both the United Kingdom and Ireland, with the Netherlands taking part from 2019 onwards. Names in the United Kingdom will be based on the National Severe Weather Warning Service.

The following names were chosen for the 2023–2024 season in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands.{{Cite web |title=Weather responders included in 2023/24 storm names |url=https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press-office/news/weather-and-climate/2023/weather-responders-included-in-2023-24-storm-names |access-date=13 November 2023 |website=Met Office}} For a windstorm to be named, the United Kingdom's Met Office, Ireland's Met Eireann, or the Netherlands' Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) have to issue an amber weather warning, preferably for wind, but a storm can also be named for amber warnings of rain and snow (e.g. Storm Arwen in 2021).{{Cite web |title=UK Storm Centre |url=https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-storm-centre/index |website=Met Office}}

This was the seventh year in which the meteorological agencies of France, Spain and Portugal named storms that affected their areas.{{Cite web |title=Borrascas con gran impacto de la temporada 2023–24 |url=https://www.aemet.es/es/conocermas/borrascas/2023-2024 |access-date=13 November 2023 |website=aemet.es |publisher=Agencia Estatal de Meteorología}}

The following names were chosen for the 2023–2024 season in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta.{{Cite web |title=Storm Naming, Denominazione delle tempeste {{pipe}} Meteo Aeronautica Militare |url=https://www.meteoam.it/it/storm-naming |access-date=13 November 2023 |website=meteoam.it}}

The Eastern Mediterranean Group works slightly differently compared to other naming lists, instead of ending a season on the 31 August of that year, they end the season on the 30 September of that year. These are the names that were chosen for the 2023–24 season in Greece, Israel and Cyprus.{{Cite web |last=Sabir |first=Amit |date=27 September 2023 |title=שמות האירועים לעונת 2023–2024 |trans-title=The names of the events for the 2023–2024 season |url=https://ims.gov.il/he/node/2251?type=ims_article |access-date=5 October 2023 |publisher=Israel Meteorological Service |language=he}}

This naming group, like the naming from the Free University of Berlin, does not use a naming list but names storms when it has not received a name by any other meteorological service in Europe and is projected to affect Denmark, Iceland, Norway or Sweden.

{{clear}}

Like the Northern Group, the Free University of Berlin names storms based on low pressures across the continent and does not use a naming list. The storms listed below were strong enough or were anticipated to cause equal or more disruption than if it were named either by one of the other groups.

In Norway, a red warning of extremely strong gusts of wind was issued for parts of Nordfjord, Møre and Romsdal, Trøndelag and Helgeland. Wind gusts of 70-110 mph were anticipated from the afternoon of 31 January until the morning of 1 February. The strongest gusts were expected in outer regions from Stad to Helgeland.

During the night to 1 February, the wind direction shifts west, possibly reaching hurricane strength in North Trøndelag and South Helgeland. Throughout 1 February, the wind becomes north-westerly, gradually diminishing, starting in the south. There is uncertainty about the low-pressure track on 1 February, with the potential for extremely strong wind gusts in Nordland, along with strong gusts in Troms and Finnmark later in the day. Expect coastal wind gusts of 90-110 mph and local interior gusts of 70-80 mph. Parts of eastern Norway and western Norway may experience strong gusts at the yellow danger level on 31 January and 1 February. Northern Norway may see a transition to snow showers, with a possibility of 20-50 cm of snow in Nordland on 1 February, accompanied by strong winds.

Due to coincident tides, low pressure, and strong winds, high water levels are expected in Nordland overnight to 1 February, potentially leading to very high water levels in the Vestfjorden. Coastal damage may occur due to high water levels and waves. The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate issued its highest avalanche warnings over southern and central parts of the country.

The storm was described as the strongest to hit Norway in more than three decades, with floods and power outages reported across the country. The center of Bodø was sealed off by police citing "a danger to life and health". In Trøndelag, police received between 40 and 50 calls from affected residents.

As this area of low pressure moves north-eastwards, it will be drawing up unseasonably warm air from Iberia for a time. This warm air will see temperatures rise across the UK, causing some areas to see values above 20°C for the first time this year.

These strong winds come in combination with large waves and one of the highest tides of the year, highlighting coastal areas for impacts. As the system develops it will bring warmer air back into some south-eastern areas of England today, but with the potential for some isolated thunder and lightning this evening.{{Cite web |title=Another low-pressure area to bring wind and rain |url=https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news-and-media/media-centre/weather-and-climate-news/2024/another-low-pressure-area-to-bring-wind-and-rain |access-date=2024-04-22 |website=Met Office |language=en}}
