Burns' Day Storm
1990 windstorm over northwestern Europe
Burns' Day Storm
The Burns' Day Storm (also known as Cyclone Daria) was an extremely violent windstorm that took place on Thursday–Friday 25–26 January 1990 over North-Western Europe. It is one of the strongest European windstorms on record and caused many fatalities, approximately one hundred deaths, with almost half of these on the British Isles alone. The storm caused widespread damage and hurricane-force winds over a wide area. This storm has received different names, as there was no official list of such events in Europe at the time, although in Britain it was named as it occurred on 'Burns Day', the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns.
