About Hurricane Vince in brief
Vince was the twentieth named tropical cyclone and twelfth hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Vince developed from an extratropical system on 8 October, becoming a subtropical storm southeast of the Azores. The U.S. National Hurricane Center did not officially name the storm until the next day, shortly before Vince became a hurricane. The storm weakened at sea and made an extremely rare landfall on the Iberian Peninsula as a tropical depression on 11 October. Vince was one of only three tropical systems to do so, alongside the 1842 Spanish hurricane and Subtropical Storm Alpha of 2020. Its remnants moved across southern Spain, dumping rain on the drought-ridden region, and moved into the Mediterranean Sea south of Alicante in the early hours of 12 October.
In two days the storm brought rain to the province of A Coruña, easing the sinking water levels in provincial reservoirs. It also caused minor floods in the nearby province of Córdoba, and a nearby university was temporarily blocked by flood waters. The fast-moving tropical depression quickly dissipated over land, and its remnants passed into theiterranean Sea. It was the last hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic basin in 2005, and the first since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It is one of the few hurricanes to have made landfall in Europe in the last 50 years, the other two being Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Ike.
