This comprehensive study establishes a detailed storm record for the Faroe Islands from 1940 to 2024 using ERA5 and NORA3 reanalysis data, as well as in situ observations. Over these 85 years, the Faroe Islands experienced 396 storms, averaging 4.8 yearly. The data revealed that storm events occur most years, with notable periods of heightened activity. The majority of storms were classified as stormy weather (20.8–24.4 m/s),...

This study investigates the evolution of German Bight (southeastern North Sea) storminess from 1897 to 2018 through analysing upper quantiles of geostrophic wind speeds, which act as a proxy for past storm activity. Here, geostrophic wind speeds are calculated from triplets of mean sea level pressure observations that form triangles over the German Bight. The data used in the manuscript are provided by the International Surfac...
