Storm “Eunice” is one of the Atlantic storms that have active over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The weather forecast staff at the Arab Regional Weather Center believes that the scientific reason behind its formation is due to the rush of a cold air mass from the North Pole due to the distribution of atmospheric pressure in the region, and when this mass rushes Very cold air towards the waters of the Atlantic Ocean met a wet tropical wave and formed a depression west of Ireland, which quickly deepened during the hours on its way to the British Isles, where the atmospheric pressure values \u200b\u200bactuated sharply.

The Atlantic storm "Eunice" witnessed the occurrence of what is known as "Explosive Cyclogenesis" or "Bomb Cyclogenesis", which is a rapid decrease in surface atmospheric pressure by 24 millibars or more within 24 hours, within a latitude higher than 60 degrees north, as a result of the strength of the jet winds. Which helped the storm to deepen quickly.
