2013-14 Atlantic winter storms in Europe
An area of high air pressure formed to the west of Britain and Ireland. It formed from late November to early December. It caused many storms to go north to Norway and Sweden. All the storms moved north of the United Kingdom. This meant that in November the country was fairly dry. In December there were long periods of calm weather in France. It was sunny and dry. The weather changed as storms brought strong rain and snowfall to the mountains towards the end of the month.
