Tracks of all cyclones from the North Atlantic affecting Europe between 1851 and 2014
The effects of tropical cyclones in Europe[nb 1] and their extratropical remnants include strong winds, heavy rainfall, and in rare instances, tornadoes or snowfall. Only three modern cyclones are officially regarded as directly impacting mainland Europe while still fully tropical or subtropical: Hurricane Vince in 2005, which struck southwestern Spain as a tropical depression; Tropical Storm Rolf in 2011, which formed in the western Mediterranean Sea and affected southern France as a weakening tropical storm; and Subtropical Storm Alpha in 2020, which made landfall in northern Portugal at peak intensity. It is believed that a hurricane struck Europe in 1842. Europe is also affected by Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones. These systems host tropical characteristics,[1] but are not monitored by an official warning center.[2]
Atlantic hurricanes in the subtropical latitudes (i.e., north of the Cape Verde region) generally do not form east of the 30th meridian west, and those that do typically continue to the west. Storms can move around the Bermuda high and turn to the northeast and affect Europe. Several extratropical cyclones have struck Europe, and they were called colloquially "hurricanes". Some of these European windstorms had hurricane-force winds of greater than 119km/h (74mph). Those storms are not included in this list.[3]
Climatology and predictions
Advanced meteorological observation stations and ship reports allowed Atlantic hurricanes to be tracked for extended durations, including to the European mainland in some cases, beginning in the 1860s. Most storms that affected Europe have done so from August to October, which is the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. In a survey of such European tropical cyclones from 1961 to 2010, Dr. Kieran Hickey observed that the storms generally formed west of Africa and recurved to the northeast, or formed off the east coast of the United States and proceeded eastward. Ireland and the United Kingdom experience the most effects, due to their positions far to the west of the rest of Europe. Countries that are as far to the east as Estonia[4] and Russia[5] have experienced tropical cyclone impacts.
Tropical-like systems, referred to as "medicanes,"[6] are occasionally observed over the Mediterranean. Several of these storms have developed eye-like features and hurricane-force winds; however, their nature is contrary to that of a tropical cyclone. The majority of these storm originate from deep, cold-core lows which they do not fully disassociate from. Additionally, unlike tropical systems, sea surface temperatures above 26°C (79°F) are not required for their development.[7]
The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute predicted that by the year 2100, global warming would increase greatly the threat of hurricane-force winds to western Europe from former tropical cyclones and hybrid storms, the latter similar to Hurricane Sandy in 2012, in a paper published in April 2013.[8] One model predicted an increase from 2 to 13 in the number of cyclones with hurricane-force winds in the waters offshore western Europe. The study suggested that conditions favorable for tropical cyclones would expand 1,100km (680mi) to the east. A separate study based out of University of Castilla–La Mancha predicted that hurricanes would develop in the Mediterranean Sea in Septembers by the year 2100, which would threaten countries in southern Europe.[9]
Storms
Pre-1900
August 1680 – A reconstructed path of a hurricane proposed by researchers from contemporary records, which is thought to have undergone extratropical transition over the North Atlantic before affecting Wales and southern England.[10]
Track of a hurricane in 1848 that extended from the United States to Europe
November 18–19, 1724 – One of the most destructive storms ever experienced in Portugal since the early 17th century,[11] caused damage to the east coast of Madeira and central and northern Portugal. (There is some conjecture whether this storm was a tropical system such as Hurricane Vince in 2005 which impacted Europe).[12]
October 29, 1842 – Research presented to the American Meteorological Society suggested that the equivalent of a Category2 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale (SSHWS) was located over the extreme eastern Atlantic Ocean in late October 1842. While passing near Madeira, the storm produced a minimum pressure of 965mbar (28.5inHg), causing heavy damage there. Moving to the northeast, the cyclone struck southwestern Spain on October29, with winds estimated at over 95km/h (59mph), which was strong enough to uproot trees and damage houses. Researchers estimated that the storm was becoming extratropical at or shortly after landfall; if tropical, the cyclone would be the only tropical storm to make landfall in continental Europe. The storm was considered an analogue to Hurricane Vince in 2005.[13]
September 1848 – A hurricane travelled from the Caribbean to the east coast of the United States, eventually dissipating near the United Kingdom. It resulted in one of the earliest completed track maps for an Atlantic hurricane.[14]
September 1, 1883 – An extratropical storm, which previously passed near Bermuda as a major hurricane, crossed over the British Isles, producing hurricane-force winds and rough seas in London.[15]
September 6, 1884 – After moving across Newfoundland as a tropical storm, a system struck Ireland with gusty winds as an Extratropical Cyclone.[16]
September 6, 1887 – The remnants of Hurricane Ten produced strong winds along the northern Irish coastline.[17]
November 6, 1887 – The 1887 Halloween Tropical Storm that struck Florida became extratropical, moved across the Atlantic Ocean, and eventually brushed southern Ireland before striking France.[18]

October 4, 1958 – The remnants of Hurricane Helene dissipated along the coast of Great Britain.[28]
September 17, 1961 – Hurricane Debbie struck Ireland, although official records are unclear whether it was tropical or not at landfall.[28][31] Regardless of its status, Debbie produced among the lowest pressures in Europe from a post-tropical cyclone, with a pressure of 950mbar (28inHg) reported between Ireland and Scotland. At Malin Head in northwestern Ireland, a gust of 183km/h (114mph) was reported, which was the highest gust in a survey of post-tropical cyclones from 1960 to 2009. Sustained winds reached 126km/h (78mph) at the same location.[citation needed] The high winds caused heavy damage across Ireland, estimated at over $40million (1961USD). There were also 12deaths in the country.[citation needed] High winds also affected Northern Ireland, killing six people.[32][33] Debbie's remnants later impacted the Soviet Union.
Surface weather analysis of the extratropical remnants of Hurricane Faith over northwestern Europe on September 6, 1966.
September 6, 1966 – Hurricane Faith was officially declared extratropical to the north of Scotland,[28] having tracked 13,000km (8,100mi) as a tropical cyclone. That day, a pressure of 960mbar (28inHg) was reported in the North Sea, along with winds of 167km/h (104mph). Faith capsized a boat off the coast of Denmark, killing one person,[3] although the other 144 people on board were rescued.[34] The storm later struck Norway with high winds and rainfall,[3] causing flooding,[35] and proceeded to move over the northern Soviet Union.[36]
September21, 1967 – Hurricane Chloe evolved into an extratropical cyclone off the northern coast of France before moving over western Europe.[28] Details on the storm's impact are unknown, though 14people drowned when the Fiete Schulze sank in the Bay of Biscay.[37][38]

September 7–9, 1995 – After becoming a powerful mid-latitude cyclone, with a pressure of 957mbar (28.3inHg) and a core of hurricane-force winds, the remnants of Hurricane Iris struck the British Isles and France.[50] The storm produced wind gusts up to 129km/h (80mph) in France and 97km/h (60mph) in Britain. More than 2.5cm (1in) of rain fell in parts of Devon.[51]
October 16, 1996 – The remnants of Tropical Storm Josephine merged with another extratropical low near Iceland.[52]
October 28, 1996 – As an extratropical storm, Hurricane Lili moved across Ireland and the United Kingdom, producing winds up to 148km/h (92mph) in Swansea in Wales. The storm left thousands without power and damaged about 500cottages. A storm surge flooded areas along the River Thames, and high waves nearly grounded an oil rig in Somerset.

September 14, 2005 – The remnants of Hurricane Maria merged with an extratropical storm in the far northeastern Atlantic Ocean,[69] dropping 130mm (5.1in) of rainfall on the island of Skye in Scotland.[citation needed] The system produced an atmospheric river over Norway, in combination with moisture from former Hurricane Nate.[70] The systems dropped heavy rainfall, reaching about 150mm (6in) of rainfall in some areas.[71] The rains amounted to about 5% of the annual precipitation total in just 12hours.[72] In Bergen – the second largest city in the country – the rains caused a mudslide that destroyed several homes,[71] injured seven, and killed three people.[72] This was the first heavy precipitation event named by The Norwegian Meteorological Institute, who named it extreme weather Kirstin.[73]
September 29 – October 6, 2005 – Former Hurricane Rita moved across Northern Europe bringing fronts all over the continent.
October 11, 2005 – Tropical Depression Vince made landfall near Huelva, Spain and dissipated shortly thereafter, making it the first tropical cyclone on record to reach the Iberian Peninsula. Vince previously formed near Madeira, and intensified into a hurricane before weakening. Vince produced wind gusts as strong as 77km/h (48mph) in Rota, Cádiz, and rainfall reached 84mm (3.3in) in Córdoba Province.[74] The rains caused minor roadway flooding.[75]

September 12, 2012 – The remnants of Hurricane Leslie struck Iceland with gusty winds,[93] which left about 30,000people without power after ice-laden lines were blown down.[94]
September 23, 2012 – Tropical Storm Nadine regenerated southeast of the Azores after having become extratropical a few days prior. The storm would become one of the longest-lasting Atlantic tropical cyclones.[95] While it was nearly stationary, Nadine produced a plume of moisture that dropped heavy rainfall over the United Kingdom, reaching 130mm (5.1in) in Ravensworth. The rains flooded houses and disrupted roads and rails.[96] In early October, the remnants of Nadine dropped heavy rainfall in Wales.[97]
October 26–27, 2012 – After moving ashore in central Portugal, the extratropical cyclone that was formerly Hurricane Rafael dissipated.[98] In mountainous areas of southern France, wind gusts reached 168km/h (104mph).
