Ivar (Seija) [149] – 10–17 December 2013. 977 hPa (28.9 inHg). [150] With a route and intensity similar to Hilde, Ivar once again brought hurricane-force winds to central Norway. In Sweden the storm left 55,000 across Norrland without power. [151] Near record level winds were reported from Finland, where 200,000 were left without power. [152]
