Twin bomb cyclones to merge into one of strongest-ever storms in North Atlantic, hammering
Iceland and threatening Britain as Storm Dennis
Three unusually intense bomb cyclones have occurred in the North Atlantic in just the past
10 days
A potentially unprecedented scenario is unfolding in the North Atlantic on Friday, as a bomb
cyclone batters Iceland with hurricane-force winds and blizzard conditions, just as another
bomb cyclone, known as Storm Dennis, rapidly intensifies behind it. Ultimately, the two storms
will enter into a complex dance around each other before combining into one atmospheric
behemoth, with a minimum central air pressure that could rank among the top three most
intense storms ever observed in the stormy North Atlantic Basin.
The first bomb cyclone, which has a minimum central air pressure of 929 millibars, roughly
equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane, is slamming Iceland with blizzard conditions, mixed
precipitation and heavy rain. Winds have been clocked at about 70 mph in the capital city
of Reykjavik, and 90 mph at the international airport in Keflavik.
