The 2021–22 European windstorm season was the seventh instance of seasonal European windstorm naming in Europe. This was the third season in which the Netherlands participated, alongside the meteorological agencies of Ireland and the United Kingdom (Western group). The season's storm names were released on 1 September 2021. Storms that occurred up until 31 August 2022 were included in this season. The Portuguese, Spanish, French and Belgian meteorological agencies collaborated again, for the fifth time, joined by the Luxembourg meteorological agency (South-western group). This was the first season when Greece, Israel and Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean group), and Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta (Central Mediterranean group) named storms which affected their areas.

## Background and naming

[edit]

Main article: Winter storm naming in the United Kingdom and Ireland

In 2015, the Met Office and Met Éireann announced a pilot project to name storm warnings as part of the "Name our Storms" project for wind storms and asked the public for suggestions.[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. Names in the United Kingdom will be based on the National Severe Weather Warning Service, when a storm is assessed to have the potential for an Amber ('be prepared') or Red ('take action (danger to life)') warning.

There are multiple regional naming lists: one created by the national meteorological agencies of the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, another created by the equivalent agencies from France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Luxembourg. This season saw the addition of two groups in southern and south eastern Europe, grouped along the Mediterranean. As in previous years, former Atlantic hurricanes retained their names as assigned by the National Hurricane Center of the United States.[2]

From the autumn of 2021, the names issued by other meteorological services were included on the charts of the Berlin Wetterkarte and Free University of Berlin using the prefix "int." under the EUMETNET umbrella.[3]

### Northern Group (Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden)

[edit]

The naming strategy for the Northern group (Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden)[9] is slightly different than the other groups, as names are not announced beforehand to prevent the names being used before a storm formally qualifies.[10] Storms or former cyclones named by the other group of agencies were used reciprocally, unless the names used in other groups were not pronounceable in the local language. However, if a Northern group storm was used to overwrite another storm like Eunice, it was not added to the overall total of storms within the 2021–22 European windstorm season, as they were the same storms with different names. This was the case for storm Eunice, which was named Nora in Denmark (and so the latter name is not listed below).[11]

* Malik

Main article: Storm Aurore

A storm, named Hendrik by the Free University of Berlin on 16 October, developed over the northern Atlantic Ocean.[22] Another developing low south of Ireland was called Aurore by Meteo France on 20 October.[23] Passing over the south of England the following night, Aurore generated very strong south-westerly winds and heavy rains from Brittany to the Grand Est in France, then central Europe as it merged with Hendrik over western Europe. An orange alert for wind was issued by meteorological services in western Europe, and even red for parts of southern and eastern Germany.[24][25] The system reached northern Russia on 22 October and dissipated in northern Siberia the next day.[26]

Aurore/Hendrik brought widespread gusts of 100 to 120 km/h (62 to 75 mph; 54 to 65 kn) from northern France to eastern Germany and beyond, reaching speeds of 175 km/h (109 mph; 94 kn; 49 m/s) in Fécamp in Normandy.[21] Fallen trees disrupted train service in several countries.[21] Two tornadoes touched down in the Netherlands,[27] in Brittany (France), three possible tornadoes were reported in Plozévet, Riec-sur-Belon and Kernascléden.[28] and in Germany, another tornado touched down near Kiel.[29]

Four people were killed in Poland.[30] One death was reported in Germany.[31] and another in the United Kingdom.[32] Around 250,000 clients lost electricity in France and 275,000 in the Czech Republic.[33][34]

### Cyclone Apollo

[edit]

Cyclone Apollo

Cyclone Apollo off the eastern coast of Sicily on 29 October.

Area affected| Italy, Tunisia, Algeria, Malta, Libya and Turkey
Date of impact| 24 October – 2 November 2021
Maximum wind gust| 103 km/h (64 mph; 56 kn)
Lowest pressure| 994.4 hPa (29.36 inHg)
Fatalities| 6 Dead, 2 Missing
Power outages| Unspecified
Damage| Unspecified

Main article: Cyclone Apollo

Cyclone Apollo was a Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone that affected many countries on the Mediterranean coast, especially Italy and Libya. 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.[35][36][37] Around 22 October 2021, an area of organized thunderstorms formed near the Balearic Islands, with the disturbance becoming more organized and developing an area of low pressure around 24 October.[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. Italy's Servizio Meteorologico named the storm Apollo (which was then adopted by the Free University of Berlin).[39] On 29 October 2021, a ship in the Mediterranean Sea passed through Apollo and measured a peak wind speed of 104 km/h (29 m/s; 56 kn) and a pressure of 999.4 hPa (29.51 inHg), indicating that Apollo is still strengthening.[40] After Apollo made its closest approach to Sicily during the overnight hours of 29 October, Apollo appeared to have begun to weaken as its convection waned and its low-level circulation became exposed on visible satellite imagery on 30 October 2021, on 31 October 2021, Apollo made landfall near Bayda and stayed inland until emerging over the Mediterranean a few hours later.[citation needed] Then, on 2 November, it dissipated off the coast of Turkey.[citation needed]

Heavy rain from the cyclone and its precursor caused heavy rainfall and flooding in Tunisia, Algeria, Southern Italy, and Malta, killing 5 people and leaving 2 other people missing.[37][41][42] The flooding was especially severe in the provinces of Catania and Siracusa, in Eastern Sicily.[35][36]

### Storm Blas

Lowest pressure| 1,010 hPa (30 inHg) [43]
Fatalities| 9
Power outages| Unspecified

Main article: Storm Blas

On 5 November, the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET) started tracking a low near the Balearic Islands and named it Blas.[44] An orange alert was issued for these islands, for coastal phenomena and rain. The north of Catalonia was declared an Orange Zone, as strong winds blew inland from the Spanish Navarre and Aragon.[45] Météo-France has also issued a yellow alert for Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales for wind, as well as Corsica for rain.[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.[46] At 00:00 UTC on 11 November, the system was again very close to the Balearic Islands.[47] After striking the islands again, the storm then slowly weakened while drifting back towards the southeast.[48] On 14 November, the cyclone turned northward, moving over Sardinia and Corsica, before curving back southwest on 15 November and moving over Sardinia again, while strengthening in the process.[49][50] On 16 November, Blas turned eastward once again, passing just south of Sardinia and moving towards Italy, before dissipating over the Tyrrhenian Sea on 18 November.[51][52][53][54]

On 6 November, gusts of 75 km/h (21 m/s; 40 kn) were recorded at Es Mercadal and 95 km/h (26 m/s; 51 kn) at the lighthouse of Capdepera in the Balearic Islands where waves of 8 m (26 ft) hit the coast.[55][56][45][57] Menorca was cut off from the world after the closure of the ports of Mahón and Ciutadella.[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.[58]

On 6 November, a waterspout was reported in Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the coast of Morocco.[45] In France, gusts of 140 km/h (39 m/s; 76 kn) were noted on 7 November at Cap Béar, as well as 111 km/h (31 m/s; 60 kn) in Leucate and 100 km/h (28 m/s; 54 kn) in Lézignan-Corbières.[59]

The storm caused severe weather on the Algerian coast with exceptional rainfall. On 9 November, a building collapsed in Algiers following torrential rains on the city, causing the deaths of three people.[60] On 11 November, the heavy rain continuing on Algiers caused another landslide on houses in the Raïs Hamidou neighborhood, causing the deaths of three other persons.[61]

From 8 to 11 November, convective bands associated with the storm caused 3 deaths in Sicily.[62]

Dangerous waves were also forecasted causing disruption to ferry services.[67] At 17:00 UTC on 26 November, Network Rail closed the rail lines north of Berwick-upon-Tweed and LNER stopped running trains north of Newcastle.[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.[69] The storm closed the entire Tyne and Wear Metro network which said in statement "this is the worst winter storm to hit metro in 41 years of operations".

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.[69]

A man in the Northern Irish town of Antrim died when a falling tree hit his car.[70] Another man was hit and killed by a falling tree in Cumbria[71] and a third man died after his pick-up truck was struck by a falling tree in Aberdeenshire.[72]

On 28 January, Storm Malik was named by the Danish Meteorological Institute (a part of the Northern Europe storm naming group),[9][91][92] after the Greenlandic name that also means "wave".[93] In Finland and Germany, which are not part of the storm naming groups,[9] it was named Valtteri by the Finnish Meteorological Institute,[94][95][96] while the Free University of Berlin named the same system as Nadia.[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. Both were hit by falling trees.[98][99] A 32-year-old man died in a traffic accident related to the storm in Scotland.[100] In Denmark, a 78-year-old woman died from injuries sustained when a door she opened was caught by the wind and she fell.[101] In Germany, a person in Beelitz was killed when hit by a poster that had come loose and in Poland a person was killed when a tree fell on a moving car in Wejherowo County. In the Czech Republic, a worker died after being buried by a wall.[90] More than 680,000 people were left without power in Poland and in the United Kingdom around 130,000 lost power.[90]

In Sweden around 40,000 households lost power, mostly in the south. Two teenagers were also injured in the southern Swedish region of Scania when their car was hit by a falling tree. In the city of Malmö, many facade panels from the Turning Torso building fell. 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. A second crane got overturned in the city of Malmö and landed on parked cars. 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 fell throughout southern Sweden. Many trees also fell in Norrtälje, a town north of Stockholm which was hit by another similar storm back in January 2019 called Alfrida.[citation needed]

The storm caused damage to the Lithuanian coast as well, with local authorities calling it the "worst storm since Cyclone Anatol in 1999".[102] The storm reached winds of 93 km/h (26 m/s; 50 kn) with gusts of 125 km/h (35 m/s; 67 kn). The storm did not cause any fatalities, but considerably damaged infrastructure and protective dunes along the Curonian Spit.[103]
