Storm Poly was an extremely violent European windstorm which affected Benelux, Germany, and the United Kingdom during July 2023. The thirty-seventh windstorm of the 2022–23 European windstorm season, Poly was named by the Free University of Berlin on 4 July. It later became the most intense summer storm to impact the Netherlands, bringing destructive gusts to the nation, peaking at 146 km/h (91 mph) in IJmuiden.[1][2][3] In Germany, lesser winds of 80–97 kilometres per hour (50–60 mph) were recorded.[4] In total, two fatalities occurred: one in the Netherlands,[5] and another in Germany.[6] Poly caused at least €50,000,000 (2023) in damages.[7]
