The Met Office has revealed the full list of storm names for the 2022/23 season - including Antoni, Betty, and Cillian.
It is the eighth year of the storm naming project, in partnership with Met Éireann and Dutch national weather forecasting service the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute KNMI, to help raise awareness and inform the public of the risks of upcoming storms. And the Met Office has revealed that Antoni will be the first named storm of the new season.
Storms will be named when a system is forecast to cause ‘medium’ or ‘high’ impacts in the UK, Ireland, or the Netherlands. In addition to strong winds, impacts from rain and snow will also be considered in the naming process.
