The current period of extended stormy weather in Europe isn't going away.

That's approximately a storm every 2 days coming in off the North Atlantic. And this is the problem, relentless atmospheric rivers from the tropics.

This will also cause stormy weather in the Middle East, especially towards the end of the month and it will be interesting to see what happens in the Sahara. Rainfall is rarely shown in forecasts to fall there... we shall see.

Left: 240 hour (10 day) rainfall forecast for the North Atlantic, Europe and North Africa
Right: 384 hour )(16 day) rainfall forecast.

There are a lot of storm tracks in the North Atlantic as you can see here.

Also on the other side of the pond, it looks like there are at least three more East Coast winter "bomb cyclone" like storms coming through.

Delivering a lot of rain snow and ice rain.... depending on where you are.

Basically #Stormy weather everywhere.
