They are now open to suggestions

Exeter's Met Office launched Name our Storms’ in 2015 and received 10,000 suggestions. 

From today, you can put forward your idea on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram or email to nameourstorms@metoffice.gov.uk

Derrick Ryall, Associate Director of Public Weather Service at the Met Office said:

“In addition to Met Office weather warnings, the storm naming scheme has been proved to raise awareness of severe weather in the UK, providing a consistent message to the public and crucially helping people to make better decisions so they can stay safe and thrive.”

The list of names chosen will be announced in early September.
