[10] On 3 October, the M6 Buoy, located about 400 km (250 mi) west of Mace Head, County Galway, recorded a pressure of 969 mbar (28.6 inHg) near Lorenzo's centre.
[43][44] Storm Amélie underwent explosive cyclogenesis on 2 November while located over the open north Atlantic,[45] reaching a minimum central pressure of 972 mbar (28.7 inHg).
[46] Amélie subsequently made landfall on Brittany's Atlantic coast in the early hours of 3 November, bringing wind gusts of to 163 km/h (101 mph; 88 kn) at Cap Ferret.
[47] Besides causing numerous fallen trees and power outages for 140,000 properties,[48] Amélie also triggered a landslide in Nice in the south of France, resulting in the only known fatality from the storm.
[56] After considerably weakening and crossing the Atlantic without any notable impacts, the system was named Bernardo by the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET) on 9 November as it was approaching the Iberian Peninsula from the Bay of Biscay.
[14] Bernardo crossed northern Spain and emerged into the Mediterranean Sea, affecting the Balearic Islands on 10 November with wind gusts of up to 111 km/h (69 mph; 60 kn) recorded in the Alfabia Mountains along the north-west coast of Mallorca.
[57] On 11 November, Bernardo strengthened to its peak intensity of 996 mbar (29.4 inHg)[58] and formed an eye-like feature, leading several media outlets to report that the storm had medicane-like characteristics.
[57] After losing its brief eye-like feature, Bernardo followed the coast of Algeria, remaining closely offshore as it moved eastwards across the Mediterranean before stalling over southern Italy for two days.
[65] When first issuing warnings for Storm Bernardo, AEMET expected wave heights of up to 6 m (20 ft) around the Balearic Islands and along the coast of several Spanish provinces bordering the Bay of Biscay.
They also forecasted precipitation up to 20 cm (7.9 in) in the form of snow over the Cantabrian Mountains above 1,000 m (3,300 ft), and rainfall up to 50 mm (2.0 in) within 12 hours in the provinces of Cantabria, Navarra, Basque Country and Asturias.
[69] It subsequently deepened and slowly moved north-eastwards parallel to the East Coast of the United States,[70] before crossing Newfoundland and emerging into the open Atlantic by 21 November.
[71] At this point, the system was named Cecilia by the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET), who issued warnings for rain and wind impacts across the Iberian Peninsula and on the Balearic Islands.
[72] Cecila intensified as it crossed the Atlantic and reached its peak intensity of 974 mbar (28.8 inHg) in the Bay of Biscay on 23 November before making landfall in northern Spain.
[82] Sebastien maintained this intensity for around two days as it crossed Ireland and the United Kingdom and entered the North Sea, before slowly weakening as it made landfall in Denmark on 29 November.
[41] Storm Daniel developed as a weak disturbance along a cold front a short distance offshore of Portugal on 15 December,[101] and it was officially named by the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET) later that day.
[103] Accelerating north-eastwards across Benelux and Denmark, Daniel began to slowly intensify, reaching its peak intensity of 982 mbar (29.0 inHg)[104] over southern Finland on 19 December.
[106] During the passage of Storm Daniel, the use of snow chains on car tyres became necessary to navigate sections of the N-630 road in central Spain, while the Puerto de Pajares mountain pass was closed to trucks, articulated vehicles and buses due to blizzard conditions.
[121] Around 22:30, Galway City Council activated its Emergency Response Plan and issued a notice warning people to stay indoors and to remain there unless it was of extreme importance.
[119] The system that would go on to become Storm Fabien formed as the easternmost of a series of weak lows which developed as disturbances along a stationary front situated across the southern United States on 17 December.
At that time, the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET) named the low Fabien, warning for wind speeds of 100 to 120 km/h (62 to 75 mph; 54 to 65 kn) and wave heights of 9 m (30 ft).
The SNCF canceled services in southwestern France as a result of high winds blowing trees onto railway tracks[126] and around 100,000 households were left without power in the same region.
[153] After stalling off the coast of North America for several days, the system began moving steadily eastwards across the open Atlantic on 17 January, reaching a peak intensity of 993 mbar (29.3 inHg) around that time.
[154] The State Meteorological Agency of Spain (AEMET) named the low Gloria on 18 January, issuing the first severe weather warnings as the storm was approaching the Iberian Peninsula.
After entering the English Channel, Hervé moved generally eastward offshore between the United Kingdom and France, expanding in size before making landfall in Belgium on 4 February.
[165][166] After landfall, Hervé accelerated southeastwards into Central Europe at a considerable forward pace, reaching its overall peak intensity of 990 mbar (29 inHg) on 5 February[167] while centred over Romania.
[173] Overnight on 3–4 February, as Hervé was approaching from the west, it brought the highest winds recorded in Switzerland since 1981, also severely impacting southern Germany and Austria around the same time.
[195] Tropical Storm Edouard's extratropical low began to slowly weaken on 8 July, turning eastward and continuing to move rapidly within the strong mid-latitude westerlies in the Atlantic.
[205][206][207] Over 194,000 homes and businesses were left without power as the storm battered the country with severe gusts of up to 143 km/h (89 mph; 77 kn) which led to fallen trees and flooding overnight.
The storm dropped to a pressure of 949 mbar (28.0 inHg), bringing strong winds and blizzard conditions, causing a complete halt to transportation and power loss to 20,000.
This weather event was caused by Storm Brendan, which for a longer period had stalled south east of Iceland, and a secondary low named Gerlinde by the Free University of Berlin.
