the most extreme example would be Hurricane Faith in 1966 which survived to Norway, passing north of Britain. It is the one that is the solid line across the top of the historical tracking charts, since the tracking programs have to switch from 0 to 360
I'm only at 51.5N and that reached 61N. HurricaneBill wrote:I think Hurricane Debbie in 1963 did reach Ireland as a Category 1 hurricane. Sustained winds were at about 75 mph.
The Irish Met Office have that storm down as being ex-hurricane Debbie so I think it was extratropical.
