Storm Debi was identified by Met Éireann on 12 November 2023,[5] while the Free University of Berlin will not be issuing a name for this system as it neither impacted Denmark, Sweden nor Norway. It heavily impacted Ireland on 12 November (Sunday night), before it made its way to the United Kingdom on 13 November, (Monday morning).

Almost 10,000 homes and businesses are without power locally due to faults in Kells, Navan, Athboy, Oldcastle, Randalstown, Macetown, Kilcock, Drogheda, Dundalk, Ardee, Kilsaran, Bush and Carrickmacross.

Met Éireann placed in effect a red wind warning for 14 counties: Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, Clare, east Galway, south Roscommon, Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Louth, Meath, Wicklow, Offaly, and Westmeath, and yellow and orange wind and rain warnings for the rest of the country.[6][7]

The Met Office issued a yellow wind warning for regions of East Midlands, North East England, North West England, Wales, West Midlands (region), Yorkshire, Humber, Midlands, Tayside, Fife and Grampian.

The Tornado and Storm Research Organization issued a tornado watch for much of Ireland, Wales, Midlands and East Anglia on Sunday evening, starting from midnight to midday Monday.[8]

On Monday morning 13 November, the storm reached the Netherlands.[9]
