There are currently no storm systems in or around Europe, so MILK ESC decided to show you the newest analysis of peak gusts by GFS.

We currently have stormy weather off the coast of Norway, and also moving towards Iceland, an area currently to the S and W of Greenland. However, since these two areas of strong wind are not directly to be related to a low pressure area and there is a very small risk, MILK ESC has decided not to go through the long and dificult process of making a full ESC Overview, but we will rather just share the current peak gust map calculated by GFS.

We currently have no storms in Europe or the North Atlantic, therefore ESC will jus issue the map showing the peak gusts in the area.

Currently there is not much activity in terms of windstorms in Europe. We have one severe storm currently lingering over the S tip of Greenland, and it will move on to affect Iceland within 24h. A severe storm warnings has therefore been issued for ICELAND. Below is the peak gust forecast from the GFS model for Europe at 00UTC today.

We currently have three storms affecting W Europe. The storm in Iceland is by far the strongest – with peak gusts up to 166km/h (the value calculated by MILK ESC) and a central pressure of 968hPa this is a strong storm fairly early in the season. The storm that affected Spain and Portugal, as well as France yesterday now has a name: QUIRIN. Other than that, a third, new storm has formed in the Atlantic to the W of France. This storm is going to again bring wind to Portugal, Spain and France. Warnings have been issued.

MILK ESC is currently tracking three storms in the region. One of the storms is currently making landfall on the Iberian peninsula with gusts up to 100km/h (calculated). A second storm is lingering in the middle of the north atlantic with peak gusts near 100km/h, but it is not forecast to make landfall within 48h. The third storm is classified as a severe storm and is currently located to the SW of Iceland, but a severe storm warning has been issued for Iceland – action will start here within 24 hours. Below is the ESC Overview.

We currently have a nemelss storm over the North Atlantic. This storm is forecast to intensify quite rapidly and then make landfall in Iceland, but also affect the N and NW coasts of Ireland and the UK as well as the Faroe islands. Below is the MILK ESC overview!

We currently still have a storm system E of Greenland, however MILK ESC will not publish new information because there is no risk to mainland Europe. For information about the location of the storm, please view yesterday’s ESC overview.
