Cyclone Anne (2014)
Cyclone Anne was a European windstorm which caused €75 million in damage across western Europe in early January 2014, followed days later by Cyclone Christina.
The low pressure system was named Anne by the Free University of Berlin on 1 January. Some media referred to Anne as the "Moon Storm".
The Anne storm was deepened by the powerful jet stream, one of a series of lows which deepened below 950hPa (for every 1hPa drop in atmospheric pressure, sea level goes up by 1 cm) which is capable of adding over half a meter to sea levels. The storm coincided with high spring tides, and high discharge levels in rivers and estuaries. The long fetch of winds over the western Atlantic pushed water against the coasts, and helped to develop some significant wave heights, especially where the coastal morphology acts to funnel the waves.
Meteo France issued an orange alert in Brittany for the departments of Morbihan and Ille-et-Vilaine, the warning level was raised to red for the department of Finistère. The Jersey Met Office gave out a red alert, its highest level of warning.
In the UK the Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, after chairing a Cobra meeting on 2 January, said the country was facing "exceptional weather". Cork City Council warned of coastal flood threat in low-lying areas of the city.
The Isle of Man Government issued a red warning (the highest) for Friday 3 January, advising that water levels were expected to be 800mm above harbour walls. Water heights were expected to be higher than a surge event in 2002, which caused 8 million pounds of damage on the island. Islanders were warned of the danger posed by contaminated water and open manhole covers; and vulnerable roads around the island were closed.
Natural Resources Wales advised that it was expecting the highest tide to hit the entire Welsh coast since 1997.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency issued warnings on 2 January for coastal flooding on the west coast. It did not initially put out a flood alert for Stornoway in the Western Isles, but later issued one.
