Naming storms helps to make communication of severe weather easier and provides clarity when people could be impacted by the weather," explained Will Lang, Met Office Head of Situational Awareness. "Our key priority is to help protect life and property from extreme weather and ensure the safety of our communities," said Eoin Sherlock, Head of Forecasting Division in Met Éireann. "Year after year storm naming proves effective for that."
Naming each storm increases the level of public safety and preparedness as people are more likely to remember and respond to warnings when storms are named." Mr. Lang noted that the number of named storms has varied significantly year over year, affecting community awareness and readiness for weather-related emergencies. "The position of the jet stream through much of autumn and winter contributed to last year's high frequency of storms."
