27 Jan 2017 / East Atlantic Ocean

Severe weather warning

A low pressure is expected to form on 30-31 January off the US East coast and move very fast NE-ward. It is expected to become very intense with sign sea 12-16m S of the low pressure. From 1-3 February there is a risk of very high sea in the waters West of Europe.

However, the movement of the low is uncertain. It seems like this low pressure is the start of a period of heavier conditions in the waters West of Europe as other lows will follow the same track.

Be prepared for some delayed voyages in this area.
