{wiki=European_windstorms}

European windstorms refer to intense weather events characterized by strong winds, often associated with low-pressure systems that occur over the North Atlantic and affect parts of Europe, particularly the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, and Scandinavia. These storms can cause significant damage through high winds, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding. The term "European windstorm" is commonly used to describe storms that reach a certain threshold of wind speed, typically classified based on the Beaufort scale or meteorological measurements.
