2018-19 European windstorm season

The 2018-19 European windstorm season was a above-average and devastating season. It featured 17 named storms, of which 4 became severe windstorms (Eugenie, Finn, Leopold and Rosalina), and 3 became major, catastrophic windstorms (Hans, Karla and Phineas). The season began on September 27, 2018 with Anais's formation, and ended on March 11, 2019 with Rosalina's dissipation. This season featured Karla, a major storm that developed unprecedented tropical characteristics over the Bay of Biscay (it was dubbed by some to be a biscane), and Phineas, the most powerful European windstorm to hit Continental Europe since Lothar in 1999.
