The remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha were forecast to reach Europe on the weekend of 9/10 August 2014. Storms like Bertha bring very heavy rain with them from the tropics, but their tracks are hard to predict.
The storm initially developed at the very end of July to the east of the Southern Lesser Antilles. It reached hurricane classification for a brief period on 4 August 2014, before weakening again and travelling north.
