Storm Eunice was the second of three named storms to affect the United Kingdom (UK) within a week during February 2022. Figure 1a shows the publicly issued information by the Met Office National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS 1) for Eunice with two red warning regions for wind over southern England, includingLondon, together with an amber wind warning covering most of England and Wales. The NSWWS was instigated in 1988 in the aftermath of the ‘Great Storm’of 15/16 October 1987 that devastated southeast England (Burt and Mansfield, 1988); since early 2011 warnings have been based on an ‘impact matrix’considering both likelihood and impact, with red meaning there is a high likelihood of a high impact. This was the second red warning for wind issued in the 2021/2022 season, but particularly notable as the first time a red wind warning had been issued for southeast England since the service began.
