Lage druk gaat naar 950, de storm in 1987 had 953, zegt dit wat over de kracht van de storm?

Hoe lager de druk hoe zwaarder de storm.

Kan nog veel lager, maar 950 is wel behoorlijk laag. Laagste ooit in Nederland is 954,2 hPa.

Hurricane Ophelia is expected to transition to a post tropical storm as it approaches our shores on Monday bringing severe winds and stormy conditions . Mean wind speeds in excess of 80 km/h and gusts in excess of 130km/h are expected, potentially causing structural damage and disruption, with dangerous marine conditions due to high seas and potential flooding

Ophelia will unleash rain and increasing winds across Northern Ireland and Scotland on Monday.
A few blustery showers are possible in Northern England.
Elsewhere, the warmth from the weekend will prevail for another day with highs ranging from 18-24 C (64-75 F). The highest temperatures will across Greater London and South East England.
On Saturday, Ophelia strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane. According to Philip Klotzbach, a meteorologist at Colorado State University, this is the farthest east a major hurricane has existed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Ophelia has since weakened to a Category 2 hurricane.
Despite losing its tropical characteristics, Ophelia will still be a powerful windstorm as it tracks near or over western Northern Ireland and western Scotland late on Monday into Tuesday.

Based on the projected path of Ophelia, wind gusts of 60-80 mph (96-129 km/h) may cause scattered power cuts and significant travel disruptions throughout Northern Ireland, western Scotland and western Wales. Some structures may sustain damage and flying debris could result in injury.
"There is likely to be local wind gusts over 80 mph (129 km/h) across the high terrain of western Scotland and coastal regions of the Irish Sea and gusts to 100 mph (161 km/h) can’t be ruled out," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys.
Travel by road, rail and air will be impacted along with the potential for disruption or closure of ferry services.
"The strongest winds will impact Northern Ireland late Monday into Monday night," said Roys.
"Scotland, Wales, Northern England and the Midlands will receive their strongest winds Monday night into early on Tuesday," added Roys.


Gusts strong enough to cause sporadic power cuts may also howl eastward to Plymouth, Manchester and Edinburgh. Latest indications keep these winds to the north and west of London, where wind gusts are expected to peak near 30 mph (48 km/h).
Dangerously rough seas will build over the Atlantic Ocean and into the Celtic and Irish seas as Ophelia makes its closest approach. Coastal flooding, large waves and sea spray may all impact coastal locations and roadways.

Powerful winds will be the greatest threat from Ophelia; however, flooding downpours will also be a concern for some areas.
The heaviest rainfall is expected across Northern Ireland and western Scotland where downpours can total 50-100 mm (2-4 inches) from Monday into Tuesday.
Blustery showers are also expected throughout South West England, Wales and Northern England, but any flooding will be isolated in these areas.
On the heels of Ophelia, another storm from the Atlantic will continue the threat for rain and wind during the middle of the week. This rainfall on top of the rain from Ophelia will heighten the risk for flooding.
