The weather in Wales so far this winter has been cold but fairly dry, although thunderstorms did cause huge problems in early November, but we already know the names of the storms we'll be getting if conditions take a turn - and Betty, Daisy, Glen, Mark and Owain are among the monikers set to wreak havoc.
The new storms list – first launched in 2015 – for each year generally runs from early September until late August the following year, coinciding with the beginning of autumn. Members of the public can suggest names by emailing [email protected].
In 2022, though, there haven't been any named storms from the list since February, according to the Met Office. November's heavy rain, strong winds and flooding were part of Storm Claudio, but this was named by Meteo France and the name didn't come from the Met Office list. Heavy rain and strong winds have been forecast by the Met Office for today and Wednesday, however, and a warning has been issued.
