After the months of January and February 2008 quite exceptionally beautiful and hot, here is a new storm warning ... will have to get used to it I think ...

In January in Le Havre, my son has never had so much wind and waves for a very long time and not as frequent:

www.funboard76.com "news" section: scroll down and watch the dates and jumps on the waves. To make such jumps you need a wind force 5 to 6 (or +) and troughs of 2 to 3 meters (or +) ..... after that it's up to them to see

There is also some stuff left: a special reinforced "waves" sail torn + a mast extension ..... it makes the business work !!!

It is midday and it is very calm and covered without rain in Auvergne, but we are not in the disturbance: it is for you the chti and those around.

Interesting your site.

A hurricane in Europe? "Emma"
http://www.radinrue.com/spip.php?article3893

Since when do we give names to storms in Europe? ..... which we call HURRICANE.

this story is getting worrying!

How serious is this site?

Is hurricane determined by wind speed?

NO : http://www.meteo.org/phenomen/ouragan.htm

"it is a tropical cyclone"!!

How do you determine the name?

Hurricane is a powerful storm that generates extremely fast winds. Hurricane is a very intense cyclone (depression). It sometimes shelters hundreds of thunderstorms and can extend over hundreds of kilometers. When the hurricane reaches the continent, it generates torrential rains which flood towns and villages. Very intense cyclones are called hurricanes in North America and the Caribbean.

Terms designating cyclones:
Hurricane in North America and the Caribbean,
Typhoon in Southeast Asia,
Willi-willi in the Indian Ocean and Australia.
What is the basis for naming a hurricane
Hurricanes all have different first names, such as Hurricane John, Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Denise, etc.

Several procedures were successively adopted to name each of the hurricanes. Long ago, they were named in honor of the saint of the day. Subsequently, they were named after politicians and their wives. In 1979, we finally arrived at an alternating list of male and female first names, English, French and Spanish.

The names used come back every 6 years. However, sometimes names are removed if it represents a particularly devastating hurricane. This is particularly the case for Frédéric in 1979 and Joan in 1988.

In this article and on the map, Europe cannot be subjected to hurricanes ... who can say more on this subject?

However, on December 26 and 27, 1999, the storm had broken everything in France, I haven't heard of a hurricane or its name !!

Could meteorologists have changed the terminology for Europe without talking about it so as not to panic populations? Is it perhaps linked to the abnormally high temperatures during the day and cold at night, due to the high pressure which remained blocked for 2 weeks on the continent?

Precisely, Jean
I asked myself the same question....
My "wife" is in Poland ... and last night she told me, a hurricane named Emma is raging over Europe ????
It is the Polish televised newspaper which announces
Directly my brain tells me hurricane = hot seas, etc ...
And the .... these are the countries of the EAST which speak of hurricane ..
So, I typed Hurricane Emma on google and I forwarded the page you saw ...
Good..winds reached 200km / h
But I'm not a weather specialist ... is there a specialist online?

[jean63]

In my opinion it is an abuse of language.

Read the 2nd article in full, it's not a hurricane.

For a while my dear jeans ... Lothar in 1999 does that remind you of anything? For hurricane, pkoi not even if it was not a hurricane with cyclone as in the tropics (named cyclone aptly)?

It shocks me no more than that ... in Asia it's typhoon which is used but it's the same thing ...

What is worrying are the facts, not the media treatment (for once) ...

It's not because it didn't blow in your corner that there was no real and destructive storm... since there were at least 8 deaths apparently ...

Ok, my wife is a translator (French-Polish), but not perfect. (It's impossible)
Poland speaks of "orkan"
And ... she looked at the translation in two dictionaries:
In short, she found nothing serious as an answer
But I notice that people have given a name to this phenomenon ... as for a real orangan ...
So i give you reason jean
The press often lacks seriousness

I know it blew a lot, I saw it on TV.

In 1999 I was in it and my roof had suffered, but I never saw the name given to this storm at the time.

In any case in 1999. there was no question of a hurricane. I think that each word should be left with its EXACT meaning: the definition is very well given in the 2 websites that I quote.

For more certainty it would be necessary to see with the meteorologists, but in the French weather forecast or news reports, no question of a hurricane either.

Well we will not take the lead with this
