Delete the redirect and change 2021–22 European winter storm season to 2021–22 European windstorm season
Since 2021–22 European windstorm season is already taken can someone delete the redirect ones and rename this article to 2021–22 European windstorm season

Storm Aurore Image
The Storm Aurore image is captioned as being south of Ireland but is clearly over Scandinavia in the image. Is the image of another storm or has the caption been wrongly edited?Lacunae (talk) 19:54, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

The image given is of Hendrik III on 21 October, Right? 116.72.128.168 (talk) 14:12, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Wanda
Tropical Storm Wanda never affected Europe. It was absorbed by the cold front of a mid-latitude storm on November 8 (The "T" along the cold front in http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/de/wetter/maps/Analyse_20211108.gif). It is that storm, named Stephane by FUB (http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/de/wetter/maps/Analyse_20211109.gif), that affected Europe. Pierre cb (talk) 14:32, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Storm Arwen Power Outages
The power outages number for Storm Arwen is missing. I have been searching through news and media (particularly BBC News and Sky News) as well as many less reliable sources. However, all of the figures I’ve found give local answers (Wales, Scotland, Cumbria, Northumberland) between 11,000 and 294,000. Can anyone please find a comprehensive figure?

Draft for Storm Arwen started
With 4 deaths and at least 130,000 power outages, the storm I believe could be notable enough for its own article. Feel free to add information to the Draft:Storm Arwen draft article. I put it in draft form currently because Storm Arwen redirects to the subsection. Once the draft is ready to be moved to mainspace, we can get an admin to speedy delete the redirect page so we can move the draft to mainspace thus preserving the attribution history from draft-mainspace.

Storm Awen ended?
On the 26th major TOC's in the UK like LNER said that they can operate today so that leads in to that the storm ended today or yesterday FoxInSpcae (talk) 10:36, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It has ended in the UK, but the actual storm has not ended. Wikipedia dates storms based on formation to full dissipations.  That is one reason why some hurricanes have time dates of 3 weeks to a month, even though their impacts only lasts a few days.  So technically speaking, those sources that say the storm ended, are actually wrong, but they are meaning it ended for the country/area. Elijahandskip (talk) 17:54, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Storm Carmel started
Israel is expecting some impacts from Storm Carmel, so I began a draft for the article. Elijahandskip (talk) 01:44, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposed rename to "European named storms" over windstorms or some-such.
Given the additional national groupings this year, I propose it might be conductive to use the title "European named storms" rather than use the more limited windstorm title. As clearly this page is not just about European windstorms in the strictest sense.Lacunae (talk) 20:08, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Appologies for not getting back to you sooner, but I have only just seen these comments after opened a discussion on the Asian winter on the Weather Project page. We have to tread carefully surrounding the title of the page since we seem to have outgrown the European windstorms title and 2021-22 European winter wouldn't work that well considering that 1/2 the systems are not in winter. As for the European named storms title, the question becomes what do you define as a European named storm? Would the systems in the South-West Indian Ocean count for instance since they are in theory named by a European Weather Agency?.Jason Rees (talk) 21:24, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * What about significant winter storms in Europe that strike areas that do not name them? Noah Talk 14:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Considering that most European windstorms are named, I think that significant European winter storms should be in an "other storms" section. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)


 * There is a translation difficulty here. In German there exists no such a word like Windsturm. However Wintersturm does say it happened in Winter, but when it#s in Spring or Fall, we use Frühjahrssturm or Herbststurm. Meteorologically it's the same type of storm. OTOH a Medicane is not a classical Wintersturm though it happens during winter mostly. Likewise Medicane impies genesis in the Mediterrenean Wintersturm implies genesis in the Northern Atlantic. OTOH you night have noticed that most German WP's articles are named Orkan XY what is a classification by stregth rather than by something else whereas Orkan is the Beaufort scale's expression for hurricane. Where as nor'easter is a term for a special type of storm on or in front of the East Coast of the United States and/or the Canadian sea Provinces it does not exist a term for landfalling extratropical North Atlantic storms. Aon or Munich Re are using European windstorm and Winterstorm as translations into Engliosh and/or German resp. vice-versa. --Matthiasb (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Northern naming Group
It appears that we now have a northern naming group that consists of the meteorological services of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which means we now are well on the way to having all severe weather events over Europe assigned an international name. For the record, this naming group was the one that assigned the name Malik to an LPA over the weekend.Jason Rees (talk) 14:29, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Probably going to make an Article for Malik.
I'll be using the redirect, as it's a viable option.Mobius Gerig (talk) 19:41, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Dudley
Should we make an article for Dudley, as it caused 11 tornadoes, 9 deaths (2 tornadic) and a lot of damage? 12.246.51.130 (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Global warming
Many sources discussing these storms already point out as explained by meteorologists how global warming has increased the chance of storms occurring as well as their intensity. This should probably be mentioned in the article.
 * It's rather in the contrary – GW is reducing the odds. --Matthiasb (talk) 07:15, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Eunice
Who added Belarus and Russia into the list of areas affected by Eunice? The wiki page of the storm does not list Belarus and Russia on the places affected. Hanami-Sakura (talk) 19:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

'Former Cyclone'
Why are the medicanes in this season being called 'former cyclones', when in reality they are still technicality cyclones? Mobius Gerig (talk) 20:19, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Storm Tracks
I have just noticed Storm Athina and Storm Ballos have a track now, this is strange to me as they weren't very strong, kind of similar to Storm Clement (2020 - 2021 season). It would be nice for whoever added this to add more tracks in the future2A02:C7F:52FE:3F00:E070:782A:1C49:D1C7 (talk) 14:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
