This was the third season in which the Netherlands participated, alongside the meteorological agencies of Ireland and the United Kingdom (Western group).

[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.

[6][7] This was the first year in which the meteorological agencies of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta named storms or former cyclones that affected their areas.

[20] A storm, named Hendrik by the Free University of Berlin on 16 October, developed over the northern Atlantic Ocean.

An orange alert for wind was issued by meteorological services in western Europe, and even red for parts of southern and eastern Germany.

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.

[38] 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.

[35][36] On 5 November, the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) started tracking a low near the Balearic Islands and named it Blas.

The north of Catalonia was declared an Orange Zone, as strong winds blew inland from the Spanish Navarre and Aragon.

[45] As the system stalled between Sardinia and the Balearic Islands on 8 November, AEMET predicted a strengthening for the next two days and maintained its alerts.

[45] On 9 and 10 November, 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 (43 nmi) west of Soller.

[68] 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.

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.

[75] [76] Met Éireann confirmed the storm was named after the BBC Northern Ireland weatherman Barra Best.

[83] [84] The storm dropped snowfall up to 56cm on the mountain areas by Lamia, along with heavy rainfall to Greece which caused some rivers to overflow, with winds up to 10 on the Beaufort scale.

The Hellenic National Meteorological Service reported that a land spout occurred on Andros due to the storm.

[97] Three fatalities were reported due to Storm Malik in the United Kingdom: a 60-year-old woman in Aberdeen, Scotland and a 9-year-old boy in Staffordshire, England.

Two teenagers were also injured in the southern Swedish region of Scania when their car was hit by a falling tree.

In the Västra Hamnen (The West Harbour) area a crane from a construction site got overturned and landed close to a bus stop full of people however nobody was injured.

Another crane got overturned in the city of Södertälje south of Stockholm and landed on a hospital but only caused slight damage to windows in the ICU section.

Many trees also fell in Norrtälje, a town north of Stockholm which was hit by another similar storm back in January 2019 called Alfrida.

In the Netherlands, the combination of Storm Corrie and a high tide forecast in the North Sea led to the decision to close the Oosterscheldekering.

[113] On 17 February, a tornado confirmed by the European Severe Storms Laboratory touched down in Poland causing damage to buildings.

[113] A red weather warning was subsequently issued on 17 February for parts of south-west England and south Wales, meaning a danger to life from flying debris.

[131] A second, rare red warning was issued for the south-east of the United Kingdom including London, Kent, Essex, and Suffolk.

[161] Ciril brought snow and heavy wind to Spain, with some areas of the country reporting the coldest April morning in 40 years.

[164] Storm Evelyn was named on 7 April by Portugal's weather bureau, the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera.

According to an Emergency Report of Dangerous Weather Phenomena released on Thursday by the national meteorological service, the low pressure front now over Italy is moving southeast and will affect western, central, and northern Greece from Thursday into Saturday with strong rain and storms accompanied by hail, lightning, and strong winds.
