Storm Lauritz continues to dominate the weather over Iceland and will now also affect the British Isles. Below is the ESC Overview.

Severe storm LAURITZ is causing quite some wind currently in iceland, with gusts forecast by M.I.L.K. Weather to possibly exceed 130km/h in the course of today. As of now, peak gusts near 100km/h have been registered, however collecting data is made dificult by the fact that there ar eonly few stations in Iceland that deliver wind gust reports. The central pressure of this well defined storm is currently 970hPa, and we expect it to slowly move east. As the fronts, especially the cold front, might affect the British Isles, we have issued a storm watch for these as well. The main wind field of the storm might also affect the coast of northern Norway. See below for the M.I.L.K. ESC Overview.

Based on current analysis by M.I.L.K. Weather, there are no warning relevant storms in the area currently. We will keep you updated.

Peak gusts in Germany are reaching 170km/h, in the lowland gusts over 80km/h nearly everywhere, partly over 100km/h. Watch out if you are in the affected area!
