The 2022–23 European windstorm season is the eighth season of the European windstorm naming in Europe. The new season's storm names were announced on 1 September 2022. Storms that occur up until 31 August 2023 will be included in this season. This was the fourth season where the Netherlands participated, alongside the United Kingdom's Met Office and Ireland's Met Éireann in the western group. The Portuguese, Spanish, French and Belgian meteorological agencies collaborated for the sixth time, joined by Luxembourg's agency (South-western Group). This is the second season where Greece, Israel and Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean group), and Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta (Central Mediterranean Group) named storms which affected their areas.

Background and naming

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.

There are two main naming lists: one created by the national meteorological agencies of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, and another created by the equivalent agencies from France, Spain, Portugal, and Belgium. Additionally, former Atlantic hurricanes will retain their names as assigned by the National Hurricane Center of the United States.[3]

Western Group (United Kingdom, Ireland and the Netherlands)

The following names were chosen for the 2022–23 season in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands.[4] For a windstorm to be named, the United Kingdom's Met Office, Ireland's Met Eireann, and the Netherlands 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).

The remnants of Hurricane Danielle became an extratropical cyclone that impacted Portugal and parts of western Spain. It had previously been a category 1 hurricane that transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone on 8 September well north of the Azores. It dissipated off the coast of Portugal on 15 September.[9]

Large waves and heavy rain hit the Azores.[10] Danielle made an extratropical cyclone landfall in Portugal, bringing heavy rain to the country. Between September 12–13, 644 accidents were reported throughout the country. While many downed trees and flash floods were reported, no fatalities resulted from the downpours.[11][12] In Manteigas, floods and landslides caused major damage.[13] Four vehicles were dragged into the Zêzere River. Heavy rain extended to as far out as Braga. Covilhã saw 67.2 millimetres (2.65 in) of rain while Viseu saw 62 millimetres (2.4 in) of rain. Minor wind and flooding damage was reported in both Lisbon and Setúbal. The Portuguese government issued a "state of calamity" after Danielle passed by.[14] Spain also received heavy rain when Danielle hit.[15]

Storm Armand was named by the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) on the 19th October.[43] This system was named Georgina by the FUB.[44] It is expected to bring heavy winds to the Iberian Peninsula. The storm caused flooding and fallen trees.[43] On 21 October, the storm neared France and the British Isles, causing strong gales and heavy rain.[44][45] By 22 October, the storm had reached the tip of Scotland after significantly weakening. The storm then entered the North Sea and then looped back round again to Ireland when it dissipated on 23 October 2022.

The strongest high-level wind gusts from Armand were recorded on Mount Aigoual, France, (elevation: 1567 m ; 5141 ft) reaching 133 km/h (83 mph). Meanwhile, the strongest low-level wind gust from Armand was 100 km/h (62 mph) recorded at Brignogan, France (elevation: 20 m ; 65 ft).[46]

A cold wave impulsed an extratropical cyclone in Europe and the storm interacted of anticyclone in the south in central Atlantic, the storm moved up towards Spain and Portugal, when on 22 October it received the name Beatrice.[47] The system was named Helgard II by the FUB, and Helgard I went on into eastern Europe, as Helgard II did not affect eastern Europe. The storm then went on to bring heavy wind and rain to the Iberian Peninsula.[48][49] The outer bands of this storm were also related to the supercells in northern France and southern England which produced at least 5 tornadoes, including the intense Bihucourt tornado.[50]

A band of intense thunderstorms on the northern leading edge of Beatrice crossed southern and eastern England during the afternoon and evening of 23 October, where a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms was issued.[51] Heavy rainfall and strong winds were reported widely, resulting in some flooding and structural damage,[52][53] and flights were disrupted at Heathrow Airport for several hours.[54]

A small girl was injured by a disjointed gate in a severe wind gust,[50] On 27 October, the storm tracked north towards Iceland and dissipated.[55]

Fatalities1 (indirect)[citation needed]

Storm Cláudio was named on 31 October 2022.[56] An orange alert for strong winds was put in place for four departments in northwest France.[57] The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for wind for most of the south coast of England, stretching from Weymouth to Kent.[58] The Met Office had forecast gusts of 50-60 mph (80–96 km/h) with isolated gusts of >70 mph (>112 km/h) on exposed coasts. The highest gust of 115 miles per hour (185 km/h)[59] was recorded at The Needles on the Isle of Wight, with a 1-minute sustained wind recorded as high as 105 mph (170 km/h) .[59] A trampoline that was caught underneath a train meant that no trains could run from Worthing to Hove for more than three hours.[60] High winds caused part of the southwest corner of the West Pier in Brighton to collapse into the sea.[61] Two giant silver baubles were blown down by the storm and rolled down Tottenham Court Road in London, luckily causing no damage or injuries.[62]

Storm Cláudio hit the UK as a deepening low pressure system, the lowest onshore pressure of 994 hPa (29.35 inHg)[63] was recorded in Plymouth at 22:00 on the 31st October. The centre of the shortwave made landfall in Southern Wales, near Cardiff, at around midnight - with the storm further north than had initially been forecasted by both the Met Office and Météo-France. In the wake of Storm Cláudio heavy convective showers produced flash flooding and lightning across the South West of England on November 1–2. At 13:23 on the 1st November, a thunderstorm brought winds as strong as 84 mph (135 km/h) to exposed parts of Cornwall.[64] In Devon, fire crews were called to a pre-school in Willand, Devon after a suspected lightning strike lead to a small fire at 14:40.[65] Between the evening of the 31st October to the evening of the 2nd November, more than 11,000 lightning strikes had been registered across the British Isles, with the majority of activity centred over the Channel Coasts.[66]

Lowest pressure955 hPa (28.20 inHg)[109]
Fatalities3 (Indirect)
Power outagesNone
DamageUnspecified

Storm Efraín was named on 10 December 2022.[109] Efrain caused floods in the Tagus basin in Portugal.[110][111] Crossing the cold waters heading towards the Azores and the Iberian Peninsula, a powerful anticyclone blocking its path to higher latitudes, the storm quickly intensified thanks to the presence of an atmospheric river of subtropical origin associated with its southern flank. The storm hit the Iberian Peninsula and France from December 13 to 16 before dissipating.


Efraín brought strong winds, heavy rains and rough seas to the Azores. Flooding due to heavy rains affected the provinces of Extremadura and Castilla-La Mancha in Spain. Strong gusts and rain caused landslides on the famous Caminito del Rey in Andalusia. Several stations in Madrid have been forced to close due to flooding. An environmental officer drowned during a flood in Villarino de los Aires (Salamanca).

In Portugal, Efraín caused flooding in the Tagus River basin. According to the Portuguese Civil Protection Agency, a government body, some 5,000 rescue workers were on duty across the country and authorities estimated the damage at millions of euros.

In France, the freezing rain and snow associated with the warm front of the system disrupted transport. Two accidents in Saône-et-Loire caused the death of a motorist on the A39 motorway and two truck drivers on a secondary road. The Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, announced the cancellation of part of the flights from Orly and Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airports. In Lyon, all the buses remained stationary for part of a morning to avoid accidents.

It was moving towards the south of the British Isles.[115][116] It reached the Bay of Biscay on January 17.[117] Then crossing into the Mediterranean, it passed over northern Italy on the 18th and turned northward to end up in the Baltic countries the following day.[118] At 0:00 UTC on January 20, Fien reached northwestern Russia.[119]

Consequently, Orange marine weather warnings for high winds were issued by AEMET for the 15th January for north-western Galicia province, with yellow marine wind warnings stretching all the way to the border with France in Basque.[120]

In France, the southwest was affected during the night of January 16 to 17. Winds of up to 150 km/h (93 mph) were recorded in the Pyrenees, toppling trees and cutting off electricity to 15,000 customers in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitania but without major damage or casualties.[121] According to Météo-France, 30 to 40 mm (1.2 to 1.6 in) of rain fell in the Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques, and up to 55 mm (2.2 in) in Tarbes, while above a certain altitude the rain changed to snow.[121] The rain caused flooding in places. Snow in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Haute-Savoie and the Massif Central caused difficulties on the roads and forced the closure of schools.[121] In Corsica, a landslide disrupted trains between Ajaccio and Bastia and ferries were canceled by Corsica Linea.[121]

In Spain, almost the entire country has been put on high alert for high winds, heavy rain and snow, depending on altitude, as well as rough seas. In the north, rivers approached overflow level. An 80-year-old man who disappeared during the storm has been found dead in the port of the Basque town of Bermeo. In Sondika, emergency services rescued a bus full of children stuck on a flooded road.[114] Winds of up to 90 km/h (56 mph) in Barcelona caused damage.[122] After its passage, arctic air gave way to very cold temperatures.
