Met Office's UK storm names for 2022-2023 revealed with Storm Antoni next to hit

Look out for Storm Antoni which will be the first storm to batter the region this autumn. The UK Met Office has revealed its list of storm names for 2022-2023 and Antoni is number one.

The names have been volunteered by the public and the UK Met Office has teamed up with The Irish Meteorological Service and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute in deciding which made the list.

Maybe that's why Wouter, the Dutch version of Walter, is the last storm name on the list which also includes Val, Betty and Daisy. And according to Wikipedia, although Antoni is mostly regarded as a Latin male name, in some places it is a variant of a female name - meaning the first storm of the year could be considered non binary.
