After Storm Lilian comes Storm...?
Children brave the wind and sea spray on Crosby Beach promenade in Liverpool during Storm Lilian last week Bert, Kayleigh, and Naoise could soon be wreaking havoc in the UK, as they are among the names ready to be given to storms in the coming year. The Met Office revealed this year’s list, which covers the 2024/2025 season starting in September to coincide with the beginning of autumn. Britain started naming storms in 2015, though the practice has been going on much longer in the US.
This year was the first time there were enough to get as far as the letter L, with Storm Lilian, so unless we have a particularly stormy year it’s unlikely we’ll get to see Storm Wren. The list of names was released after a spell of sunny weather for the end of the summer holidays, with temperatures reaching 28°C across much of the south east. The UK Met Office works with the Irish Met Eireann in Ireland and Dutch weather service KNMI to pick the names.
