We are pleased to announce that a new dataset has been published today, 12 June 2025, in the Climate Data Store (CDS):

This dataset provides climate indicators of windstorms associated with extratropical cyclones, derived from ERA5 over a pan-European domain. This dataset is updated on a monthly basis, in near real-time. It includes windstorm tracks, windstorm footprints and windstorm summary indicators.

The dataset may be downloaded interactively using the CDS web interface (Download form) or programmatically using the API service.

A Product User Guide is made available to accompany the data.

For any enquiries regarding this dataset, please contact us .

Thank you for extending the time coverage. It’s a pity that there are only limited geographical subset of tracks. Do you plan to extend this algorithm coverage to -180…180 area?
