The Met Office has launched a public appeal for new storm names, inviting individuals to honour loved ones by submitting suggestions for future severe weather events. The initiative aims to enhance communication and public awareness regarding the impacts of adverse weather conditions.
The weather service emphasises that naming storms is a vital tool for effective public and media engagement during periods of severe weather. The current 2024/25 season has already seen five named storms, with ‘Eowyn’ being the most recent, designated on January 21.
