The 2023–2024 European windstorm season was the ninth season of the European windstorm naming in Europe. The new season's storm names were announced on 1 September 2023. Storms that occur up until 31 August 2024 will be included in this season. This was the fifth season where the Netherlands participated (through KNMI), 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 seventh time, joined by Luxembourg's agency (Southwestern group). This is the third 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
[edit]Definitions and naming conventions
[edit]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.[1][2][3] 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.[4] 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.[5] In Denmark, a windstorm must have an hourly average windspeed of at least 90 km/h (55 mph).[6]
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.[7] 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.[2] Therefore, an assignment of a storm name does not mean that a storm will actually develop.
Western Group (United Kingdom, Ireland and the Netherlands)
[edit]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.[8] 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).[9]

|
South-Western Group (France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Luxembourg)
[edit]This was the seventh year in which the meteorological agencies of France, Spain and Portugal named storms that affected their areas.[10]
|
|
|
Central Mediterranean Group (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta)
[edit]The following names were chosen for the 2023–2024 season in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta.[11]
|
|
|
Eastern Mediterranean Group (Greece, Israel and Cyprus)
[edit]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.[12]
|
|
|
|
Northern and North-Western Group (Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden)
[edit]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.
|
Central/FUB naming Group (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary)
[edit]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.

Storm Babet (Viktor)
[edit]| Storm Babet | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Area affected | Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Sweden |
| Date of impact | 16–22 October 2023 |
| Maximum wind gust | 185 km/h (115 mph) at Cairn Gorm Summit, Scotland on 19 October 2023 |
| Fatalities | 15 (1) |
| Power outages | 55,000 (England), 27,000 (Scotland)[16] |
| Damage | Unspecified |
Storm Babet, which was named by the United Kingdom's Met Office on 16 October, and was named Viktor by the Free University of Berlin, affected large parts of western and northern Europe.[17][18] It first affected Portugal and southwestern Spain with strong winds, heavy rains and floods on 16–17 October, subsequently moving to northern Europe.[19] The Met Office issued several yellow rain and wind warnings for large parts of the UK, along with amber rain warnings for parts of northeastern England and Scotland.[20] A rare red weather warning was issued for eastern parts of Scotland.[21]
Met Éireann issued Yellow rain warnings for most of Ireland.[22] An orange rain warning for southwestern Ireland was also issued, and there was flooding in the south of the Island, especially the east of County Cork; Midleton was particularly badly hit.[23][24]
A rare red warning for rainfall was issued across portions of eastern Scotland by the Met Office on 19 October.[25] A wind gust of 124 km/h (77 mph) was registered at the coast in Inverbervie.[26] In the highlands, Cairn Gorm summit recorded a gust of 185 km/h (115 mph).[27] In Brechin, Scotland, residents were asked to evacuate their homes by the local council.[28]
In Denmark, southern Sweden and northern Germany, the wind caused some material damages, fallen trees and cancellations of ferries, trains and planes, but the most serious effect was a storm surge, with large amounts of seawater being pushed by the wind into the westernmost Baltic Sea and Danish straits (unlike floods in Great Britain, Ireland and the Iberian Peninsula that primarily were caused by heavy rain).[29][30][31] In parts of Denmark (southeastern Jutland, southern Funen, southern Zealand and smaller islands in the area) and Germany (eastern Schleswig-Holstein), it caused the highest floods in more than a century, with some places in Denmark having sea levels that were up to 2.39 m (7 ft 10 in) above normal and in the Germany up to 2.22 m (7 ft 3 in) above normal.[32][33][34] In certain, particularly exposed places, people were evacuated after levees broke and houses were flooded.[34][35] On the opposite, western side of Jutland and Schleswig-Holstein, the waters were forced away from the shore by the wind, with sea levels up to 3 m (9.8 ft) below normal, stranding boats and preventing several ferries from running because of insufficient water depths.[34][36][37] This flooding was unusual because it was caused by easterly winds and mainly impacted the westernmost Baltic Sea. In Denmark and Germany, large storm floods are most often caused by westerly stoms where the greatest impact is on the southeastern North Sea, which has coastlines that are far better protected by taller, more extensive levees and other systems.[38]
There were at least six recorded fatalities: a 57-year-old woman died after being swept into a river in Angus (Scotland), a 56-year-old man died after his van hit a tree near Forfar in Angus, a man in his 60s was killed after being swept away by flood waters near Cleobury Mortimer (England),[39][40] a 33-year-old woman was killed on the German island of Fehmarn when her car was hit by a falling tree,[34] and a woman in her 80s in Chesterfield died in floods. A man trapped in a vehicle in floodwater near the Aberdeenshire village of Marykirk was later found dead.[41]
Damage in Schleswig-Holstein was estimated to be 200 Million Euro.[42]

| Damage | Unspecified |
Storm Ciarán was named by the United Kingdom's Met Office on 29 October, while the Free University of Berlin gave this system Emir on 30 October 2023. It was expected to bring winds of 90 to 120 km/h (56 to 75 mph) widely with > 130 km/h (80 mph) on some coasts. More heavy rainfall was expected to fall which would exacerbate the flooding from Storm Babet a week prior. A large yellow weather warning for rain and wind was placed for the South Wales, Devon and Cornwall, south coast and the east coast of East Anglia. In Cornwall, 4,000 properties were left without power.[62] In Devon, 250 schools were closed.[63] In Dorset, the Freshwater Beach Holiday Park at Burton Bradstock was destroyed. Other places in Dorset affected included Loders, Easton and West Bay.[64] A caravan park at Tenby in Wales was evacuated due to flooding.[65]
The Met Office stated Storm Ciarán was undergoing explosive cyclogenesis as of 1 November.[66] The storm especially affected the Isle of Jersey, where a freak thunderstorm created spawned an IF2.5/T6 tornado alongside the golf ball sized hail with windspeeds of the storm reaching around over 160 km/h (100 mph).[67][68] The southern coast of England and France were severely affected by the storm, with record wind gusts in France being reported around 208 km/h (129 mph).[69] The storm also caused flooding and huge waves.[70] An IF3 tornado also touched down in Bulgaria.[71]
In the Netherlands, an orange weather warning was given for the coastal provinces for high winds. Events were cancelled, including the Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships at the last minute due to safety. There was a lot of disruption due to cancelled flights and trains.[72] People were advised to work from home, and to not drive unless absolutely necessary.[73]
There were 15 fatalities as a result of the storm. A 46-year-old woman died in Germany when a tree fell on her.[74] There were two deaths in Belgium, a 5-year-old child and a 64-year-old woman from falling branches.[75] A 23-year-old woman died in Spain from a fallen tree.[76] In France two deaths were reported, including a 72-year-old man who was blown off his balcony.[77] And in the Netherlands a person was killed when a tree fell on their car.[78] As of 3 November 2023, six more died in Italy and one in Albania.[79]
Six people were killed during heavy rains in the region of Tuscany, Italy, with rivers flooding and causing damage. Several roads and highways are closed amid landslides. Severe damage also occurred in Campobasso, Molise, evacuations were being made in Veneto with highways being closed, and emergency calls occurred in Rome. In Sardinia, strong winds fueled fires that burned hectares of vegetation, while a man was killed in Capoterra, and in Tortolì an entire sawmill burned down.[80]
In total there were more than 1 million power outages, and in Cornwall around 4,000 properties were left without power.[81][82][83]
Storm Domingos (Fred)

Storm Elisa was identified by Météo-France on 9 November 2023,[89] while the Free University of Berlin named this system Helmoe the very next day.
Heavy rain was forecast to fall in northern France between Le Havre and Calais with 80–100 millimetres to fall in the region. This caused rivers to burst their banks causing some flooding with 20–50 more widely.[89] No deaths were recorded from Storm Elisa.
Storm Debi
[edit]| Storm Debi | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Area affected | Ireland, United Kingdom, Netherlands |

| Damage | Unspecified |
Storm Debi was identified by Met Éireann on 12 November 2023,[93] while the Free University of Berlin will not be issuing a name for this system as it neither impacted Denmark, Sweden nor Norway. It heavily impacted Ireland on 12 November (Sunday night), before it made its way to the United Kingdom on 13 November, (Monday morning).
Met Éireann placed in effect a red wind warning for 14 counties: Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, Clare, east Galway, south Roscommon, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Louth, Meath, Wicklow, Offaly, and Westmeath, and yellow and orange wind and rain warnings for the rest of the country.[94][95]
The Met Office issued a yellow wind warning for regions of East Midlands, North East England, North West England, Wales, West Midlands (region), Yorkshire, Humber, Midlands, Tayside, Fife and Grampian.
The Tornado and Storm Research Organization issued a tornado watch for much of Ireland, Wales, Midlands and East Anglia on Sunday evening, starting from midnight to midday Monday.[96]
On Monday morning 13 November, the storm reached the Netherlands.[97]
Storm Frederico (Linus)
[edit]| Storm Frederico | |

| Date of impact | 15–21 November 2023 |
| Fatalities | 2 (last confirmed information in Bulgaria) |
| Damage | Unspecified |
Storm Frederico was identified by Météo-France on 15 November 2023 around 17:50 CET as a new depression, and the Free University of Berlin announced on 16 November 2023 that this system will be named Linus. Météo-France predicted this system will travel from the Gulf of Saint-Malo towards north of Germany, morning of 16 November 2023 near the Channel Islands and by the night, strong gale will reach Provence and Corsica.[98] overnight with significant gusts between 110 km/h and 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph)[99]
The Met Office issued yellow rain warnings in association with the storm system for the south coast of England and Wales where flooding is possible.[100][101] It is also reported that Météo-France already placed 55 departments on yellow alert, including Île-de-France.[99]
The system then tracked through southeastern central parts of Europe bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the Balkans and southern Black Sea coasts such as Turkey. Orange and yellow wind and snow warnings were put up for parts of the Balkans particularly, Romania, Serbia and Bulgaria. The system brought heavy rain and some snowfall to western parts of Turkey. The eastern Mediterranean is forecast to also be impacted by Frederico, with yellow flood warnings for parts of Israel and a orange 'coastal event' warning issued. The storm moved out of Europe by 21 November 2023.
Storm Alexis
[edit]| Storm Alexis | |
|---|---|

Though a weak and small system, Storm Alexis was assigned by the Italian Servizio Meteorologico, on 22 November 2023.[102] The storm was assigned for potential flash flooding due to heavy rain with orange warnings.[citation needed]
It was also predicted that Alexis would turn into an anticyclone by 24 November 2023, Friday.[103]
The national meteorological service predicted the arrival of cold air mass from Scandinavia, heading straight down for Central Mediterranean and the Balkans which would result in drastic temperature drop, especially countries on the Adriatic side.[103] This cold spell is also exacerbated by the formation and naming of the next storm, Storm Bettina.
Storm Bettina (Phil)
[edit]| Storm Bettina | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Area affected | Italy, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Moldova, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Croatia, Crimea, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania |
| Date of impact | 25–28 November 2023 |
| Fatalities | 22 |
| Power outages | >2,500,000 [104] |
| Damage | Unspecified |
Storm Bettina was assigned by the Servizio Meteorologico, the Italian Meteorological Service, as a cold plunge from northern Europe impacted much of the continent. The Free University of Berlin named this system Phil the next day on 26 November 2023.[105]
Up to 60 cm of snow was forecast for Ukraine and Romania with blizzards possible for parts of southern Europe. Many red and orange snow, rain, wind and ice warnings were force for many parts of south, central and southeastern parts of Europe. Red wind warnings were also in place for coastal parts of Croatia with orange and yellow wind warnings in force for parts of the Italian Peninsula as well as much of the Balkans much of Greece and the island of Sardinia. Turkey was also expected to see impacts from this system with a heavy band of rain with strong winds in association especially in the west and northwest of the country.
Multiple districts and municipalities in Bulgaria declared states of emergency on 26 November 2023 due to heavy snowfalls and strong winds causing severe traffic disruptions and widespread power outages to estimated 800,000 households in Bulgaria. By 27 November 2023, the country's meteorological agency issued Code Yellow warning for low temperatures to Blagoevgrad, Kyustendil, Pernik and Sofia while others were still in the Green.[106]
Currently, Storm Bettina claimed a total of 5 lives while 1 still missing. The storm also heavily impacted Crimea as one of the worse storms coming from the Black Sea
Storm Bettina claimed 2 lives in İzmir, Turkey; a 62-year-old man died in Konya on 25 November 2023 in his car and was swept away by a flash flood while trying to turn back. On 26 November 2023, a 58-year-old man died in Sinop while working at a construction site when the wall collapsed on him. He was taken to the hospital but could not be saved.[107]
The storm caused heavy snowfall and strong blizzards that lashed Eastern Europe over the weekend, forcing the closure of national roads. This is the first major cold snap that hit and spread across Romania and Moldova, prompting an emergency declaration in Bulgaria. The storm claimed the life of a 40-year-old man in Moldova on 26 November 2023 after his vehicle skidded off the road and crashed into a tree while two people in Bulgaria had died in traffic accidents and 36 were left injured during the stormy weather in the last 24 hours. At least 10 died and 23 were injured across Ukraine.[108][109]
Storm Bettina also caused power outages to about half a million residents in Crimea, forcing road closure between the villages of Metyevo and Trudovoy in the region of Saki, as well as between the village of Morskoye and the town of Sudak. This caused four people to be injured and another one is still missing after the heavy storm in Crimea.[110]
Storm Oliver
[edit]| Storm Oliver | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Area affected | Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Balkan Peninsula, Poland, Moldova, Ukraine, Baltics |
| Date of impact | 28–30 November 2023 |
| Fatalities | 1 |
A new area of low pressure was named Oliver by Free University of Berlin on 28 November 2023 [111] for potential risk for further damage after Storm Bettina a few days prior. The storm is associated with the same cold plunge coming down from northern Europe and the Arctic so there are yellow and orange ice warnings issued for Germany and the Czech Republic, along with many orange wind warnings for parts of northern Italy and the Adriatic Sea coast of Croatia. There is also the threat of heavy flooding rainfall so there are a plethora of yellow rain warnings in place, especially for Croatia and orange snow warnings in Romania and Slovakia.[citation needed]
On 28 November 2023, Hellenic National Meteorological Service had declared and issued a Level 4 storm warning to the Ionian Islands and western parts of mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, which is just one notch below the highest storm grade for the region.[112]
The storm disrupted rescue efforts thus had claimed the life of one crew member while authorities managed to save another crew member after Storm Bettina caused a ship to sink. Greek rescuers on 26 November 2023 are still searching for 12 people missing after a ship sank in gale-force winds off the coast of Lesbos.[113]
Storm Oliver, on 29 November passed through central Ukraine bringing more disruptive winds as the storm exits to the north. Oliver dissipated by 30 November.[citation needed]
Storm Ciro

Storm Ciro was identified and named by Servizio Meteorologico,[114] the Italian Meteorological Service for potential for flooding from heavy rain.
A red rain warning was in force for the regions of Liguria and Tuscany from 01:00 1 December – 18:00 2 December local time.[115] All northern and eastern regions, along with Sicily are under a red warning as a cold front passes through where disruption is likely.[115]
In a broad yellow rain warning has been issued for parts of Corsica and southern France from the west coast south of the Garonne going through to eastern central parts and the regions of Aude, Pyrénées-Orientales and Ariège (department) with a smaller orange warning for rain and possible avalanches and snow for Savoy and Upper Savoy as well as Hautes-Alpes and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.[116]
In Poland and the Czech Republic red snow and ice warnings were issued in response to the storm projected track and snowfall coverage extent. Meanwhile, a red extreme low temperature warning has been issued for central and eastern parts of Italy, including the regions of Molise, Abruzzi and Marches.[117]
Storm Elin (Vanja)
[edit]| Storm Elin | |
|---|---|

| Maximum wind gust | 130 km/h (81mph): Capel Curig, Wales |
Storm Elin was one out of the two storms that were named by Met Éireann on 9 December 2023. This first one was named in the early hours on 9 December 2023. The storm was subsequently named Vanja by the Free University of Berlin the next day on 10 December 2023[118]
The storm hit Ireland, generating gale-force winds and severe gusts which caused travel disruptions during Saturday. Orange wind warnings were already issued by Met Éireann for Wicklow, Dublin and County Donegal. Yellow wind warnings were also issued for County Clare, County Tipperary, County Cavan and County Monaghan[119]
Storm Elin then affected United Kingdom, where Met Office issued yellow rain warnings for Northern Ireland for County Antrim, County Down, County Tyrone and County Londonderry[119] There was also a broad yellow wind warning covering large parts Wales and the southwest of England to the coast of East Anglia where in parts 40–60 mph gusts were expected. Some areas in north Wales were forecast of 70+ mph.[120][121]
The Environment Agency had already issued 33 flood warnings for England, indicating potential flash flooding (including for the River Ouse, Yorkshire,[119] with 150 flood alerts in force.[122] As for Ireland, Met Éireann issued orange and yellow rain and wind warnings to 22 counties overnight in order to prepare for the upcoming storm on Sunday[123]
Storm Fergus (Walter)

The UK Met Office issued yellow wind warnings for western parts of the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, north west England, west Wales, and parts of the south west, such as Cornwall. Deputy Chief Meteorologist Christoph Almond stated, "Gusts of 50 mph are expected quite widely on Saturday, while some exposed spots, particularly on the coast, will see 60 to 70 mph gusts with large waves also likely."[267][268][269]
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. The locations likely to see the highest temperatures will be in parts of East Anglia and Southeast England where 21°C or 22°C is not out of the question briefly on Saturday.[270]
Met Éireann issued a yellow warning for Ireland, orange wind warning for County Cork, County Kerry, County Galway, and County Mayo due to Storm Kathleen, which will bring gale force southerly winds, including severe and damaging gusts, potentially leading to very difficult travel conditions, fallen trees, power outages, coastal flooding, and wave overtopping.
Preliminary reports suggest the strongest wind from Kathleen are in Northern Ireland was recorded at 69mph (111 km/h) at Orlock Head in County Down. However, in Scotland, an unofficial windspeed of 101mph (162km/h) was recorded at Cairn Gorm. This is awaiting verification from the Met Office.
Other strong winds were recorded in Ireland include:
- Magilligan, County Londonderry – 57mph (91 km/h)
- Thomastown, County Fermanagh – 56mph (90 km/h)
- Castlederg, County Tyrone – 54mph (86 km/h)
- Aldergrove, County Antrim – 54mph (86 km/h)[271]
However, according to the Met Office the highest wind gust was 102mph (164km/h) recorded at Aonach Mor, Scotland.[272]
NIE Networks said about 400 customers are without power after high winds caused "a low level of damage to the electricity network. In the Republic of Ireland, 12,000 homes, farms and businesses were left without power as a result of Storm Kathleen. ESB Networks said the largest outages were in County Mayo, County Sligo, County Leitrim, County Laois and County Wicklow. Some flights including all Aer Lingus services at Belfast City Airport and ferry sailings have been cancelled.[273]
In the United Kingdom, for the second time this year, part of the roof of Titanic Belfast has been damaged by strong winds. The Met Office had warned of possible travel disruption, power cuts, and a risk of injuries from large waves. As of Saturday afternoon, the Environment Agency (EA) issued 14 flood warnings – where flooding is "expected" – and 118 flood alerts in England. The EA also issued 45 red cautions for strong streams on the River Thames, advising users of all boats not to navigate. National Resources Wales issued five flood alerts across the country.[274]
About 200 people had to be evacuated on Tuesday 9 April as the River Arun in west Sussex burst it's banks with rainfall made worse by Storm Pierrick a few days later.[275]
A family touring Scotland's North Coast 500 route are said to be "lucky to be alive" after their motorhome was reportedly blown down a hill as Storm Kathleen swept in across the country. The family of four and two dogs were still inside when the rented vehicle rolled over several times at a layby on the A896 near Shieldaig in Wester Ross on Sunday 7 April. The family, from Oxfordshire, reportedly managed to escape the wreckage with severe bruising.[276]

Storm Pierrick was named by Meteo France on 8 April 2024 and Vanessa by Free University of Berlin a day prior on the 7 April 2024.[277][278]
The storm will mainly affect the United Kingdom with the Met Office issuing yellow wind warnings. As of midday on 8 April, there exists a yellow wind warning across the south-west, encompassing Cornwall and north Devon. Another yellow wind warning is in affect across the south coast of England from Chideock, Dorset through to Margate, Kent.[279] On Tuesday the 9 April, the yellow warning extends to include the west coast of Wales, with another yellow warning, this time for rain which encompasses south-west Scotland, through the central belt and up the Aberdeen coast.[280]
Meteo France has issued some yellow and orange warnings. Much of the country is covered in a yellow wind warning with a orange wind warning in the north west of the country and another two in the north of the country including, Rouen and Évreux.[281]
The low-pressure system will bring the strongest winds to Cornwall and coastal parts of Devon and Somerset later today and overnight (8-9 April), then as the system continues to track across the United Kingdom the strong winds will extend along many English Channel coasts, all the way to Kent, and north along the coasts of the Celtic and Irish Seas to Lancashire. 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.[282]
Record high tides were recorded across the south-coast of England, resulting in serious coastal flooding in many areas. The Severn Bridge was close because of strong winds but has reopened since on Tuesday afternoon. A station was swept away in Devon, and a beach café in Cornwall lost a seating area and three of its beach huts were dragged into the sea.[283]
Evacuations in West Sussex went ahead after the River Arun overflowed its banks, with further warnings that flooding may increase throughout Tuesday brought by Storm Kathleen, worsened by Storm Pierrick.
About 180 people were rescued overnight from Medmerry Holiday Park in Earnley and about 15 from Ferry Road and Rope Walk in Littlehampton, West Sussex county council said. One person showing signs of hypothermia was taken to hospital.[284]
