The waters of the Atlantic Ocean have been abnormally warm, providing copious amounts of energy that can intensify storms.

Does that mean we get a rainy winter in europe?
I don't think I've seen studies of any kind of teleconnection between Gulf of Mexico conditions and European weather, though higher temperatures tend to mean both more intense rain and more intense droughts.
Gulf stream is the teleconnection. It transports summer heat of Mexico to europe winter, major factor to mild climate in europe. With all the hubub about it weaking due to climate change, i thought this was common knowledge. Guess more in europe?
Look at something like this and it's pretty clear that the impact of this year's events aren't obvious like that. Not impossible, but I don't think I've seen what you're describing.
Thanks for the map, but it is, more or less.
The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the coastal areas of the East Coast of the United States from Florida to southeast Virginia (near 36°N latitude), and to a greater degree, the climate of Northwest Europe. A consensus exists that the climate of Northwest Europe is warmer than other areas of similar latitude at least partially because of the strong North Atlantic Current.
Yes, but that's very different from saying "I can discern an change in behavior of European weather based on what this storm did"
More because of why that storm came to be; lots of warm water
