The great storm of 1987 was a violent extratropical cyclone that occurred on the night of 15–16 October, with hurricane-force winds causing casualties in the United Kingdom, France, and the Channel Islands as a severe depression in the Bay of Biscay moved northeast. Among the most damaged areas were Greater London, the East Anglian coast, the Home Counties, the west of Brittany, and the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, all of which weathered gusts typically with a return period of 1 in 200 years.

  • Der Westeuropa-Orkan war ein Orkan, der in der Nacht vom 15. auf den 16. Oktober 1987 über England und seine größten Windgeschwindigkeiten erreichte. Er gilt als der schwerste Sturm in Großbritannien seit dem Großen Sturm von 1703. Das Tiefdruckgebiet war aus der Biskaya über Frankreich hinweg gezogen und hatte einen Kerndruck von 955 hPa. Der Orkan verursachte Sachschäden in Höhe von 6 Milliarden DM; mindestens 29 Menschen starben. (de)
  • The great storm of 1987 was a violent extratropical cyclone that occurred on the night of 15–16 October, with hurricane-force winds causing casualties in the United Kingdom, France, and the Channel Islands as a severe depression in the Bay of Biscay moved northeast. Among the most damaged areas were Greater London, the East Anglian coast, the Home Counties, the west of Brittany, and the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy, all of which weathered gusts typically with a return period of 1 in 200 years. Forests, parks, roads, and railways were strewn with fallen trees and schools were closed. The British National Grid suffered heavy damage, leaving thousands without power. At least 22 people were killed in England and France. The highest measured gust of 117 kn (217 km/h; 135 mph) was recorded at Pointe Du Roc, Granville, France and the highest gust in the UK of 100 kn (190 km/h; 120 mph) was recorded at Shoreham. The storm has been termed a weather bomb due to its rapid development. That day's weather reports had failed to indicate a storm of such severity, an earlier, correct forecast having been negated by later projections. The apparent suggestion by the BBC's Michael Fish of a false alarm is celebrated as a classic gaffe, though he claims he was misquoted. As a result of this storm, major improvements were later implemented in atmospheric observation, relevant computer models, and the training of forecasters. (en)
  • 1987ko ekaitza urte hartako urriaren 15 eta 16 artean mendebaldeko Europa jo zuen zikloia izan zen. Atlantikoko iparraldea (Azoreetan sortu, Bizkaiko golkora mugitu eta ipar-ekialderantz jo zuen) zeharkatu zuen ziklogenesi lehergarri moduan.

  • La tempête de 1987 est une tempête très violente qui a frappé le jeudi 15 octobre 1987 la Bretagne et le Cotentin avant d'atteindre les îles Britanniques. Son intensité était telle qu'elle a causé des dommages équivalents à ceux d'un ouragan de force 3 dans l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson ce qui lui a valu le nom d'« Ouragan de 1987 » dans certains milieux. Cependant, il s'agissait d'une dépression synoptique de caractère explosive des latitudes moyennes et non d'un cyclone tropical. (fr)
  • A grande tempestade de 1987 foi uma intensa tempestade de vento europeia (i.e. ciclone extratropical) que ocorreu durante o final da noite de 15 de outubro e também durante 16 de outubro e que atingiu o sul da Grã-Bretanha e norte da França, causando ventos de até 220 km/h, e, em menor grau, a Bélgica e o norte da Espanha. A tempestade causou pelo menos 23 mortes; 19 no Reino Unido e no mínimo 4 na França. (pt)
  • Stora stormen i Västeuropa 1987 inträffade den 15-16 oktober 1987, då vindar slog till mot delar av och norra Frankrike. Stormen var den värsta i England sedan 1703 (284 år tidigare) och ledde till minst 22 dödsfall i England och Frankrike (18 i England, och minst fyra i Frankrike). Enligt Beauforts skala hade vindarna en orkans styrka, men begreppet orkan syftar på en tropisk cyklon på Nordatlanten eller norra Stilla havet. Stormen förklarades vara ovanlig, och en sådan som återkommer ungefär vart hundrade år. Men redan i januari 1990 var det dags igen för en liknande storm. (sv)
