Storm Daniel

Medicane Daniel (also known as Storm Daniel) to the north of Libya on September 9, 2023

Storm Daniel, also known as Cyclone Daniel, was the deadliest and costliest Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone ever recorded as well as the deadliest weather event of 2023 to date. Forming as a low-pressure system around 4 September 2023, the storm affected Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey with extensive flooding. The storm then organized as a Mediterranean Low and was designated as Storm Daniel, in which it soon acquired quasi-tropical characteristics (TLC) and moved toward the coast of Libya, where it caused catastrophic flooding before degenerating into a remnant low.
