The 2021–2022 European windstorm season is the seventh instance of seasonal European windstorm naming in Europe. This is the third season in which the Netherlands will participate, alongside the meteorological agencies of Ireland and the United Kingdom (Western Group). The new season's storm names were released on 1 September 2021. Storms that occur up until 31 August 2022 will be included in this season. The Portuguese, Spanish, French and Belgian meteorological agencies will again collaborate too, for the fifth time, joined by the Luxembourg meteorological agency (South-western Group). This is the first season when Greece, Israel and Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean group), and Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta (Central Mediterranean Group) name storms which affect their areas.

Background and naming

In 2015, the Met Office and Met Éireann announced a pilot project to name storm warnings as part of the "Name our Storms" project for wind storms and asked the public for suggestions.[1] The meteorological offices produced a full list of names for 2015–2016 through to 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, when a storm is assessed to have the potential for an Amber ('be prepared') or Red ('take action (danger to life)') warning.

There are multiple regional naming lists: one created by the national meteorological agencies of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, another created by the equivalent agencies from France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Luxembourg. And also for the first time groupings in South Eastern Europe. Additionally, former Atlantic hurricanes will retain their names as assigned by the National Hurricane Center of the United States.[2]

Also, some of these storms may be of tropical origins. For example, ex-Hurricane Lorenzo of 2019 made landfall in Ireland and the United Kingdom. All details on tropical storms and hurricanes can be found on the National Hurricane Centre.

From the Autumn of 2021 the names issued by other meteorological services will also be included on the charts of the Berlin Wetterkarte and Free University of Berlin using the prefix "int." under the EUMETNET umbrella.[3]

A depression formed on 4 October in the western Mediterranean and was named Christian by the Free University of Berlin.[9] It was named Storm Athina by Hellenic National Meteorological Service on October 6[10] and intensified when it arrived in southern Italy on October 8.[11] The system then passed into the Ionian Sea before dissipating on the 9th.

In central Italy, Athina caused record rainfall in Liguria with 496 mm in Savona in just 6 hours, breaking the record of 472 mm of November 2011.[12] The main roads of the island of Corfu turned into rivers, the basements were flooded, power outages occurred, small landslides occurred and firefighter interventions were required with the storm front rains preceding the system.[13]

DamageHeavy rain and strong gusty winds above 128 km/h (80 mph; 69 kn) in the Channel Islands.

A storm, named Hendrik by the Free University of Berlin on October 16, developed over the northern Atlantic Ocean.[19] Another developing low South of Ireland was called Aurore by Meteo France on 20 October.[20] Passing over the South of England the following night, Aurore generated very strong south-westerly winds and heavy rains from Brittany to the Grand Est in France, then central Europe as it merged with Hendrik over western Europe. An orange alert for wind has been issued by meteorological services in western Europe, and even red for parts of southern and eastern Germany.[21][22] The system reached northern Russia on October 22 and disappeared in northern Siberia the next day.[23]

Aurore/Hendrik brought widespread gusts of 100 to 120 km/h (62 to 75 mph; 54 to 65 kn) from northern France to eastern Germany and beyond, reaching speeds of 175 km/h (109 mph; 94 kn; 49 m/s) in Fecamp in Normandy.[18] Fallen trees distrupted train service in several countries.[18] Two tornadoes touched down in the Netherlands,[24] in Brittany (France), 3 possible tornadoes have been reported in Plozévet, Riec-sur-Belon and Kernascléden.[25] and in Germany, another touched down near Kiel[26]

Four people have been killed in Poland.[27] Each one death were reported in Germany.[28] and the United Kingdom.[29] Around 250,000 clients lost electricity in France and 275,000 in the Czech Republic.[30][31]

Storm or Cyclone Apollo

Storm Apollo
Cyclone Apollo off the eastern coast of Sicily on 29 October.
Area affectedItaly, Tunisia, Algeria, Malta, Libya and Turkey
Date of impact24 October 2021 – 2 November 2021
Maximum wind gust103 km/h (64 mph; 56 kn)
Lowest pressure994.4 mbar (29.36 inHg)
Fatalities6 Dead, 2 Missing
Power outagesUnknown
DamageUnknown

Cyclone Apollo was a Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone that affected many countries on the Mediterranean coast, especially Italy and Libya. The storm killed at least 5 people and left 2 others missing due to flooding from the cyclone, in the countries of Tunisia, Algeria, Malta, and Italy, where the worst of the effects have been felt, especially on the island of Sicily.[32][33][34] Around 22 October 2021, an area of organized thunderstorms formed near the Balearic Islands, with the disturbance becoming more organized and developing an area of low pressure around 24 October.[35] On the next day, the low started to develop a low-level circulation center, and moved into the Tyrrhenian Sea. On 28 October, the system organized even further and intensified, which prompted forecast offices in Europe to name the low. Italy's Servizio Meteorologico named the storm Apollo (which was then adopted by the Free University of Berlin).[36] On 29 October 2021, a ship in the Mediterranean Sea passed through Apollo and measured a peak wind speed of 104 km/h (65 mph; 56 kn) and a pressure of 999.4 mb (29.51 inHg), indicating that Apollo is still strengthening.[37] After Apollo made its closest approach to Sicily during the overnight hours of October 29, Apollo appeared to have begun to weaken as its convection waned and its low-level circulation became exposed on visible satellite imagery on 30 October 2021, on 31 October 2021, Apollo made landfall near Bayda and stayed inland until emerging over the Mediterranean a few hours later. Then, on 2 November, it dissipated off the coast of Turkey.

Heavy rain from the cyclone and its precursor caused heavy rainfall and flooding in Tunisia, Algeria, Southern Italy, and Malta, killing 5 people and leaving 2 other people missing.[34][38][39] The flooding was especially severe in the provinces of Catania and Siracusa, in Eastern Sicily.[32][33]

Storm Blas

Storm Blas
Blas impacting Sicily on 14 November.
Area affectedAlgeria, Balearic Islands and East coast of Spain, South of France, Morocco, Sardinia, Sicily
Date of impact5 November 2021 – 18 November
Maximum wind gust140 km/h (87 mph; 76 kn)
Lowest pressure1,010 mbar (30 inHg) [40]
Fatalities9
Power outagesUnknown
DamageUnknown

On November 5, the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) started tracking a low near the Balearic Islands and named it Blas.[41] An orange alert has been issued for these islands, for coastal phenomena and rain. The north of Catalonia was declared an Orange Zone, as strong winds blew inland from the Spanish Navarre and Aragon.[42] Météo-France has also issued a yellow alert for Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales for wind, as well as Corsica for rain.[42]

As the system stalled between Sardinia and the Balearic Islands on November 8, AEMET predicted a strengthening for the next two days and maintained its alerts.[43] At 00:00 UTC on 11 November, the system was again very close to the Balearic Islands.[44] After striking the islands again, the storm then slowly weakened while drifting back Southeastward.[45] On 14 November, the cyclone turned northward, moving over Sardinia and Corsica, before curving back southwestward on 15 November and moving over Sardinia again, while restrengthening in the process.[46][47] On 16 November, Blas turned eastward once again, passing just south of Sardinia and moving towards Italy, before dissipating over the Tyrrhenian Sea on 18 November.[48][49][50][51]

On November 6, gusts of 75 km/h (47 mph; 40 kn) were recorded at Es Mercadal and 95 km/h (59 mph; 51 kn) at the lighthouse of Capdepera in the Balearic Islands where waves of 8 m (26 ft) hit the coast.[52][53][42][54] Menorca was cut off from the world after the closure of the ports of Mahón and Ciutadella.[42] On November 9 and 10, Blas again brought high winds and heavy rain to the Balearic Islands, causing at least 36 incidents, mostly flooding, landslides and blackouts. A crew member had to be rescued after his sailboat's mast broke, leaving the boat adrift 80 km (50 mi) West of Soller.[55]

On November 6, a waterspout was reported in Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the coast of Morocco.[42] In France, gusts of 140 km/h (87 mph; 76 kn) were noted on November7 at Cap Béar, as well as 111 km/h (69 mph; 60 kn) in Leucate and 100 km/h (62 mph; 54 kn) in Lézignan-Corbières.[56]

The storm caused severe weather on the Algerian coast with exceptional rainfall. On November 9, a building collapsed in Algiers following torrential rains on the city, causing the deaths of three people.[57] On November 11, the heavy rain continuing on Algiers caused another landslide on houses in the Raïs Hamidou neighborhood, causing the deaths of three other persons.[58]

From November 8 to 11, convective bands associated with the storm caused 3 deaths in Sicily.[59]

Storm Arwen

Storm Arwen was named by the Met Office on 25 November 2021.[62][63] Red warnings for wind were issued for north-eastern parts of the UK, as well as extensive amber and yellow warnings for much of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and most of England. Dangerous waves were also forcasted causing disruption to ferry services.[64] At 5pm GMT on 26 November, Network Rail closed the rail lines north of Berwick-upon-Tweed and LNER stopped running trains north of Newcastle.[65] More than 120 lorries were stuck in heavy snow on the M62 in Greater Manchester, with the motorway shut by police while ploughs and gritters led the rescue effort.[66] The storm closed the entire Tyne and Wear Metro network which said in statement “this is the worst winter storm to hit metro in 41 years of operations”.

Dozens of crashes were reported by police agencies across the UK, many roads were closed due to fallen trees, snow or ice, and more than 130,000 homes were without power on a cold night in the north.[66]

A man in the Northern Irish town of Antrim died when a falling tree hit his car.[67] Another man was hit and killed by a falling tree in Cumbria[68] and a third man died after his pick-up truck was struck by a falling tree in Aberdeenshire.[69]
