United Kingdom and Ireland are the gateway for tropical cyclones in Europe

The United Kingdom and Ireland are the gateway for tropical cyclones in Europe. These cyclones can sometimes move northwards from lower latitudes and reach the European continent. Even after losing some of their tropical characteristics, they can bring destructive winds and heavy rain. These storms are rare enough that their risks are difficult to fully assess.
