(Bloomberg) -- This year’s Atlantic hurricane season is sofierce that even Ireland and Britain will get a piece of theaction.

Ophelia moving NE

Ophelia, the 10th straight Atlantic tropical storm to become ahurricane, is moving northeast and will approach Ireland on Mondaybefore moving over Scotland, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. With windscurrently about 90 miles per hour, it’s set to be the strongeststorm in the far eastern Atlantic since Hurricane Ivan in 1980.

This Atlantic storm season has already racked up the mostconsecutive hurricanes since the late 19th century and broughtdevastation to Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico. Europe had a tasteof the stormy conditions early this month from the remnants ofhurricanes Maria and Lee, which helped push U.K. wind-powergeneration to a record.

“What normally happens with these things is that we get somereally good production,” said Stephen Lilley, a partner atGreencoat Capital LLP, which manages funds that invest in windfarms including four in Northern Ireland. “We generate up to 50miles per hour, which is pretty windy, but above that, you turn itoff. It’s never up there for very long.”

Chance of damage to tile roofs

Ophelia is likely to cause transport delays, and there’s a slightchance of power cuts and damage to tile roofs on buildings onMonday, the Met Office said as it issued a wind warning for thatday. U.K. wind generation is forecast to reach a record 9.3gigawatts on Oct. 19, beating the previous high of 8.9 gigawatts atthe start of the month.

“There may be gale-force winds, or even severe gale-force winds,on Monday, possibly Tuesday,” said Nicola Maxey, a spokeswoman forthe U.K. Met Office, which is based in Exeter, England. The westcoasts of Ireland and England will probably be worst hit.

While a stormy day for Monday is possible, “uncertainty remains,due to the nature of the track of the Atlantic storm system,”Ireland’s Met Eireann said on its website. The storm has thepotential to be a “high impact event” in some parts of thecountry.

Ophelia’s maximum sustained winds are now 90 miles (144kilometers) per hour, the NHC said in an advisory on its website.That’s twice as high as gale force winds, which top out at 54 milesper hour.

Likely to lose intensity

As the storm travels northeast, it’ll probably lose intensity as itmoves away from the warm water needed to sustain it, said Maxey atthe U.K. Met Office.

“It will become an ex storm,” she said. “They dissipate quitequickly once they hit land.”

The Atlantic season ranked seventh on the all-time list in termsof energy produced by hurricanes and tropical storms.

This year’s tally of 15 storms is above the seasonal average of12, but less than the record 28 in 2005.
