Last weekend we experienced Storm Darragh – it’s the fourth storm since 1 September when this new season began.
The list of storm names is announced each year and runs in alphabetical order, starting this season with Ashley, followed by Bert.
This years names are as follows: –
Ashley, Bert, Conall, Darragh, Eowyn, Floris, Gerben, Hugo, Izzy, James, Kayleigh, Lewis, Mavis, Naoise, Otje, Poppy, Rafi, Sayuri, Tilly, Vivienne, and Wren.
The Met Office, Met Éireann, and KNMI (Netherland Metreological Service) select the names from public suggestions.
The first storm to be named in the UK was Storm Abigail which moved across the country on 12 -.13 November 2015.
The Met Office began naming storms to make people more aware of the dangers of severe weather.
