Summary

edit
Description
English: In early May 2019, a large storm swirled in the North Atlantic Ocean threatening stormy weather for the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Germany from May 7-11. According to Accuweather, the storm achieved bomb cyclone status as its central pressure dropped rapidly on May 6-7 as it traveled between the Azores and western Europe over open ocean. A bomb cyclone is defined by a rapid drop in air pressure of at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the storm on May 7. At that time, the storm circulated around an open eye as rain bands were swept across Ireland and the United Kingdom, bringing a taste of cold temperatures and heavy downpours.
