2013-14 Atlantic winter storms in Europe
Until December 14, France (and the United Kingdom and Ireland) were protected by a strong area of high air pressure that went from Africa to the British Isles. However, the Nordic nations were affected by lots of storms, including Windstorm Hilde (November 17), Windstorm Oskari (December 1), Windstorm Xaver (December 5–7), Windstorm Ivar (December 12) and Windstorms Zaki and Adam (December 14–15).
