Norway now! Storm with high winds of 185 km/h swept away cars and houses. Storm “Ingunn“
On January 31, 2024, the storm Ingun struck a significant part of Central and Northern Norway.
The storm caused damage to the power supply, transportation, and other infrastructure, making it the most powerful storm in the last 30 years. Ingun was referred to as a “weather bomb“ because it underwent explosive intensification, with the pressure in its central part dropping by 50 millibars in just 24 hours.
In the Faroe Islands, the first to be hit by the elements, wind speeds of 155 miles per hour were recorded.
In Norway, the police declared an alert using the national notification system, rarely used outside of testing periods. In Nordland County, the highest-level red danger warning was in effect. The warning advised everyone in the “red“ zone to seek shelter and prepare their homes for potential prolonged power outages.
In the city of Bodø, the capital of Nordland County, windows were blown out on the 13th floor of the Radisson Blu hotel due to the extreme weather conditions. Due to the severe weather, the city center was closed off by the police.
In the municipality of Sømna, wind gusts approached hurricane force, reaching 136 miles per hour (60.9 m/s). According to measurements from the Meteorological Institute station in Kvaløysletta, sustained wind speeds reached 115 miles per hour (50.3 meters per second), equivalent to a Category 3 tropical hurricane.
In Trøndelag County, 13,000 consumers were left without electricity. A firefighting team dispatched to help residents with a damaged roof couldn’t start working due to safety concerns, as debris was flying everywhere.
A strong gust of wind blew a bus with 14 passengers off the road in the Lærdal municipality.
Airlines and ferry companies had to cancel flights due to the hurricane-force winds, and schools were closed in some areas.
Storm “Ingunn“ erupted just a few days after the previous storm hit Northern Norway, causing widespread destruction.
Ingunn also affected the United Kingdom with winds exceeding 100 miles per hour. The tornado and storm research organization issued tornado warnings in Northern and Western Scotland.
For safety reasons, more than 40 train journeys were canceled in Scotland, and the ferry operator Calmac suspended all services on five routes.
Winds also led to the closure of many popular attractions, including Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh, Stirling Castle, and Craigmillar Castle.
The storm also brought record winds to Sweden. Meteorologists have already deemed this storm exceptional for the Atlantic.
It is evident that the number and intensity of storms are rapidly increasing worldwide. Hurricane winds cause enormous material losses and more frequently pose a direct threat to human lives.
