  Conditions are also cold in northern Europe, meaning that European gas storage stood at 47% full at the start of this week, 5% below the 5-year average and 20% lower than in 2024, according to analysts at UBS, in a note.

  In week 6 of 2025, European gas imports rose and exceeded 2024 weekly import levels. This was driven by higher liquified natural gas (LNG) imports

  Unless someone has other ideas of what is suddenly consuming a whole lot of LNG I guess chilly weather it is

    Mate, there is hardly a correlation with winter in that graph. The highest import for multiple years there is in the middle of the year, which happens to also be the hottest. One year even has the lowest imports in winter (first weeks of the year) and a peak in spring.

        What are we taking about? There was no long, hard winter. Very simple.

        Gas import has seemingly little to do with temperature and probably much more with politics and price. Your new graph shows exactly the same, highest imports in summer. No correlation with temperature.
