Storm Goretti is sweeping across Europe with severe winds, heavy snow, and freezing temperatures, triggering alerts from the UK to Germany.

The UK has issued a rare red wind warning for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with gusts of up to 160 km/h and rail disruption expected, while France is closing schools in northern coastal areas and warning drivers to stay off the roads. Germany is bracing for up to 15 cm of snow, temperatures potentially dropping to -20 degrees Celsius, and widespread transport delays, with forecasters calling the storm an exception against a backdrop of increasingly mild, climate-change-driven winters.
