TL;DR Summary

Storm Ingunn, one of Norway’s strongest in 30 years, swept through the country with record winds, leaving tens of thousands without power and disrupting travel across the region. With a central pressure dropping to 944 millibars, equivalent to a strong hurricane, the storm set wind speed records, including a maximum of 122 mph in Norway and gusts as high as 140 mph. The storm, intensified by a "sting jet," is part of a stormy season in western and northern Europe, with signals pointing to colder and stormier risks growing continent-wide heading into February.
