Short summary
The link between storms and volcanic eruptions in northwest Europe is investigated. Past storminess was reconstructed using sand deposits in a coastal peatbog from western Ireland. Together with similar records from northwest Europe this shows six periods of high storminess in the last 2500 years, coinciding roughly with the largest eruptions of this time. A record of past windiness for Ireland (600–1616 CE) created from the “Irish Annals” supports enhanced storminess for 3 years after eruptions.
