The list of storm names is announced on September 1 each year and runs in alphabetical order
Storm Bert, named by Ireland's Met Éireann back in August, heralds the second named storm of the 2024/25 season. Meteorologists release the annual list of storm names on September 1, proceeding alphabetically - this season commenced with Ashley, followed by Bert, next up is Conall, and could potentially extend to Izzy, Rafi, and Tilly.
While wind intensity is a primary factor for a storm's designation, precipitation such as rain or snow can also influence the naming process. Public suggestions create a shortlist of favourite names, enriched with three historic names reflecting the Met Office’s 170-year legacy. Why are there no storms for Q, U, X, Y and Z? The list of storm names only includes 21 letters of the alphabet, in order to align with the naming conventions of tropical storms and hurricanes in the North Atlantic by the US National Hurricane Center. This is due to the fact that the National Hurricane Center generates six lists of storm names that rotate, and it's challenging to find six suitable names beginning with Q, U, X, Y and Z.
In recent years, the UK has experienced frequent periods of the jet stream either being directed towards the UK or to the south of the UK, which has helped develop and steer low pressure systems to our shores, sometimes resulting in named storms. Does climate change impact UK storms? The question of whether climate change impacts UK storms is a pressing one. Experts acknowledge that climate change is intensifying our weather, leading to heavier rainfall and an increased risk of flooding, reports BBC.
