WikiProject European windstorms
Welcome to WikiProject European windstorms, a group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of European windstorms. The project was as a daughter project of the WikiProject Non-tropical storms itself a daughter project of WikiProject Meteorology and its sister project WikiProject Tropical cyclones and the WikiProject Severe weather.

Scope

 * Depressions moving across Europe from the Atlantic, does not include Mediterranean cyclones, Bora, Mistral (see french naming citeria for details) Met Office and Met Eireann intend to use naming for other weather events (rain, snow- these should be compared in level 3. (see below) but otherwise should be rain/flood/snow articles where applicable, see how it pans out when it happens).


 * "If a barotropic storm is a post tropical storm, it keeps its named given by NHC Miami preceded by ex."

Notability criteria

 * Level 3. Named storms by a meteorological agency of Europe (though exceptions occur i.e. "Zeus" 2017) -listed in coordination table at 2018–19 European windstorm season. To include comparative names in various naming schemes and dates of impact.
 * Level 2. Storms listed at relative meteorological grouping page, or unified page, basic detail of warnings, image, short infobox. (It should be remembered that naming of storms is warning system based on forecasting, while Wikipedia deals in notable events which have occurred.
 * Level 1. Storms which are assessed by the external agency [www.perils.org/losses|Perils.org] as qualifying. Reach notability criteria (and usually enough material) to make a better than stub Wikipedia article of their own, and their own listing at List of European windstorms. Perils.org typically use a default value of €200 million, though do qualify notable storms which do not exceed this value ("Zeus" 2017 and Ex-Ophelia 2017), and so can be used for our purposes as an independent outside source for assessing notability.
