Map of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_windstorm" class="extiw" title="w:European windstorm">European windstorms</a> of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019-20_European_windstorm_season" class="extiw" title="w:2019-20 European windstorm season">2019-20 European windstorm season</a>. The points show the location of the lowest pressure of each storm at 6-hour intervals. The colour represents the storm's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/maximum_sustained_wind" class="extiw" title="w:maximum sustained wind">maximum sustained wind speeds</a> as classified in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the type of the storm. To recreate, use the following parameters: <tt>--extra 1 --dots 0.5 --lines 0.1 --res 4096</tt>. For input data, see below.
