Anatol is the name given by the German Weather Service to a powerful winter storm that hit Denmark, south-west Sweden and north Germany on December 3, 1999. The storm had sustained winds of 136 km/h and wind gusts of up to 175 km/h, equivalent to a category 1 hurricane, which is unusually strong for storms in northern Europe. The storm caused 6 fatalities in Denmark.

According to the Danish Meteorological Institute, the storm is estimated to have caused damages in Denmark of DKK 13 billion, or about USD 2 billion. Storms causing damages of this magnitude are only expected every 500 years in Denmark.
