"However, the storm exhibited sufficient tropical characteristics for NOAA in the US to grant it tropical storm status through its National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (Nesdis). An advisory on Monday called it 01M (the M standing for Mediterranean), the first such ever issued for the Mediterranean. Winds were above storm force with heavy thunderstorms breaking out, similar in intensity to those in the tropics, and there was some coastal flooding."
