Extratropical cyclones – a forecaster's perspective [PDF]
AbstractDespite considerable improvements in numerical models in recent years, weather events associated with extratropical cyclones continue to present forecasters with a challenge. For most cyclogenesis events model forecasts display, at the least, subtle errors in track and intensity of the system.

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)
Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Tropical cyclone intensification and extratropical transition under alternate climate conditions: a case study of Hurricane Ophelia (2017) [PDF]
Post-tropical cyclones can have substantial impacts on regions unaccustomed to such powerful storms. Previous studies have found that the prevalence of such storms is expected to increase in the future.

Regional deep learning weather prediction (DLWP) models, such as Bris, offer high resolution forecasts comparable with traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. We evaluated Bris against the operational MetCoOp Ensemble Prediction System (MEPS) during extratropical cyclone Poly (July 5, 2023).

Relating extratropical atmospheric heat transport to cyclone life cycle characteristics and numbers in Southern Hemispheric winter [PDF]
Outside the tropics, extratropical cyclones account for most of the poleward atmospheric heat transport, and extreme heat transport events are known to occur in their vicinity.

Can we trust CMIP5/6 future projections of European winter precipitation?
IPCC models project a likely increase in winter precipitation over northern Europe under a high-emission scenario. These projections, however, typically rely on relatively coarse ∼100 km resolution models that can misrepresent important processes driving

The Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment and storm Harry in January 2026
This article introduces the Mediterranean Extreme Events Experiment (M3E) – a new project consisting of partners from Europe and the United States – whose main objective is to improve the weather forecasting of extreme events in the Mediterranean region via the deployment of drifting buoys with barometers (shown).

Characteristics of quasi‐stationary band‐shaped precipitation systems in Japan between 1989 and 2022
(a) Annual occurrence frequency of QBPSs (green bars), five‐years moving average (blue line), and regression trend (red line) for 1989–2022. (b) Distribution of the geographical occurrence frequencies of QBPSs with a 5‐km resolution for 1989–2022. Quasi‐stationary band‐shaped precipitation systems (QBPSs) are a major cause of localized heavy rainfall ...

Extratropical cyclone induced sea surface temperature anomalies in the 2013/14 winter [PDF]
The 2013/14 winter averaged sea surface temperature (SST) was anomalously cool in the mid-North Atlantic region. This season was also unusually stormy with extratropical cyclones passing over the mid-North Atlantic every 3 days. However, the processes by
