Twenty years after the 1999 storm, can we expect more hurricanes in Europe?

Vince, Ophelia, Leslie. These hurricanes become tropical storms passed off the European coasts and sometimes touched down. Their strong winds and torrential rains sowed death and caused a lot of damage, in Ireland and Portugal, respectively in 2017 and 2018.

However, for years, researchers have observed a tendency for cyclones to reach their maximum power at higher latitudes than before. But that does not mean that these climatic phenomena will systematically reach Europe in the coming years. In addition, if global warming should make them more powerful, their number should stagnate or even decrease.
