# European gas storage at 74% leaves TTF at €85.54/MWh as an early-December cold snap looms

> European gas storage is about 74% full, the lowest seasonal level since the 2022 energy crisis, while weather models indicate a possible early-December cold snap. The article says colder conditions could add about 1.1 billion cubic metres to regional gas demand and further reduce already-low inventories.

## Why it matters

Low storage limits Europe’s buffer against a surge in heating demand, and withdrawal rates can weaken as inventories fall. That raises the risk of tighter winter supply and supports European gas prices.
