The Burns' Day Storm was an extremely violent windstorm that took place on 25–26 January 1990 over North-Western Europe. It is one of the strongest European windstorms on record and caused many fatalities in the UK and Europe. This storm has received different names,as there was no official list of such events in Europe at the time. Starting on Burns Day,the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns,it caused widespread damage and hurricane-force winds over a wide area.
Hurricane Rita was the most intense tropical cyclone on record in the Gulf of Mexico and the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded. Part of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season,which included three of the top ten most intense Atlantic hurricanes in terms of barometric pressure ever recorded,Rita was the seventeenth named storm,tenth hurricane,and fifth major hurricane of the 2005 season. It was also the earliest-forming 17th named storm in the Atlantic until Tropical Storm Rene in 2020. Rita formed near The Bahamas from a tropical wave on September 18,2005,that originally developed off the coast of West Africa. It moved westward,and after passing through the Florida Straits,Rita entered an environment of abnormally warm waters. Moving west-northwest,it rapidly intensified to reach peak winds of 180 mph (285 km/h),achieving Category 5 status on September 21. However,it weakened to a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall in Johnson's Bayou,Louisiana,between Sabine Pass,Texas and Holly Beach,Louisiana,with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). Rapidly weakening over land,Rita degenerated into a large low-pressure area over the lower Mississippi Valley by September 26.
Severe storms in Australia refers to the storms,including cyclones,which have caused severe damage in Australia.
Cyclone Kyrill was a low-pressure area that evolved into an unusually violent European windstorm,forming an extratropical cyclone with hurricane-strength winds. It formed over Newfoundland on 15 January 2007 and moved across the Atlantic Ocean reaching Ireland and Great Britain by the evening of 17 January. The storm then crossed the North Sea on 17 and 18 January,making landfall on the German and Dutch coasts on the afternoon of 18 January,before moving eastwards toward Poland and the Baltic Sea on the night from 18 to 19 January and further on to northern Russia.
The 2009 Great Britain and Ireland floods were a weather event that affected parts of Great Britain and Ireland throughout November and into December 2009. November was the wettest month across the United Kingdom since records began in 1914 and had well above average temperatures. The worst affected area in Great Britain was the English county of Cumbria. The Irish counties of Clare,Cork,Galway and Westmeath were among the worst affected areas of Ireland.
The global weather activity of 2010 includes major meteorological events in the Earth's atmosphere during the year,including winter storms,hailstorms,out of season monsoon rain storms,extratropical cyclones,gales,microbursts,flooding,rainstorms,tropical cyclones,and other severe weather events.
The winter of 2010–2011 in Europe began with an unusually cold November caused by a cold weather cycle that started in southern Scandinavia and subsequently moved south and west over both Belgium and the Netherlands on 25 November and into the west of Scotland and north east England on 26 November. This was due to a low pressure zone in the Baltics,with a high pressure over Greenland on 24 November,and ended on 3 May 2011 in Poland.
Cyclone Xaver,also known as the North Sea flood or tidal surge of 2013,was a winter storm that affected northern Europe. Force 12 winds and heavy snowfall were predicted along the storm's path,and there were warnings of a significant risk of storm surge leading to coastal flooding along the coasts of the North and Irish Seas.
Cyclone Dirk was a large and deep European windstorm that affected Western Europe from the Iberian Peninsula to Iceland from 22 December 2013.
Cyclone Anne was a European windstorm which caused €75 million in damage across western Europe in early January 2014,followed days later by Cyclone Christina.
Storm Desmond was an extratropical cyclone and fourth named storm of the 2015–16 UK and Ireland windstorm season,notable for directing a plume of moist air,known as an atmospheric river,which brought record amounts of orographic rainfall to upland areas of northern Atlantic Europe and subsequent major floods.
Typhoon Kammuri,known in the Philippines as Typhoon Tisoy,was a powerful typhoon which impacted the Philippines in early December 2019. Kammuri,which means crown or Corona Borealis in Japanese,the twenty-eighth named storm and sixteenth typhoon of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season,Kammuri developed from a tropical wave situated a couple hundred kilometers south of the Mariana Islands. From November 25 to 27,the system tracked westward at a steady pace and rate of intensification,first making minor impacts in Guam. On November 28,the system intensified into a typhoon as environmental conditions became marginally conducive for significant development. From November 29 to December 1,Kammuri was unable to strengthen to previous estimates due to its near stationary movement as a result of weak steering currents,upwelling itself consequently. On December 2,the system tracked westward at a much faster speed of 19 km/h (12 mph) and rapidly intensified over warm Philippine Sea waters,before making landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon.
Severe weather events or extreme weather events in Sydney,Australia,include hailstorms,thunderstorms,gale,bushfires,heatwaves,drought,and flash flooding. Sydney is rarely affected by cyclones,although remnants of cyclones do affect the city.
Hispaniola is an island in the Caribbean,with the second largest size throughout all of the Caribbean. Throughout the centuries,since reliable records began,hundreds of hurricanes and tropical cyclones have affected Haiti and the Dominican Republic,the two countries that share the island. The most recent tropical cyclone to affect Hispaniola was Hurricane Franklin in August 2023.
Typhoon Cimaron was a typhoon that caused minimal impacts in the Mariana Islands and Japan in August 2018. The twenty-third depression,twenty-first named storm,eleventh severe tropical storm,and seventh typhoon of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season,Cimaron developed from a tropical depression near the Marshall Islands on August 16. The depression soon became Tropical Storm Cimaron on August 18. Cimaron gradually intensified into a typhoon on August 21,and rapidly reached its peak intensity the next day. Cimaron then weakened before making two landfalls in Japan as a Category 1 typhoon on August 23. Cimaron continued to weaken until it became an extratropical cyclone and dissipated on August 24.
The 2022–23 European windstorm season was the deadliest and costliest European windstorm season on record,mainly because of the impact in Northern Libya of Storm Daniel,which became the deadliest and costliest medicane ever recorded as well as the deadliest tropical or subtropical system worldwide since 2008.
In 2023,the United Kingdom experienced flooding.
The 2023–2024 European windstorm season was the ninth season of the European windstorm naming in Europe. It comprised a year,from 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024. This was the fifth 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 seventh time,joined by Luxembourg's agency. This was the third season where Greece,Israel and Cyprus,and Italy,Slovenia,Croatia,Montenegro,North Macedonia and Malta named storms which affected their areas.
Storm Ciarán,known in Germany as Storm Emir was a European windstorm that severely affected parts of Europe from late October to early November 2023. Part of the 2023–24 European windstorm season,Ciarán impacted northwestern Europe and killed 21 people,eleven of whom were in Italy and four in France. It also caused mass disruption to transport. Widespread damage from 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) winds were reported in the Channel Islands,while 1.2 million French households were left without electricity.
