Polar Low: 27-29 January 2004

In this case a Polar Low affected North-western Europe between the 27th and 29th of January 2004. The Polar Low moved along the Norwegian coast then southwards in a northerly flow and turned over the North Sea in the direction of the German Bight. Eventually the Polar Low made landfall over the border between the northern parts of The Netherlands and Germany.
