A list of UK storm names for 2024/25, how they get their name and who picks them as the Met Office issues weather warning for Storm Darragh
The UK is expected to be battered by rain again this weekend Storm Darragh is expected to hit the UK this afternoon bringing days of rain, strong winds and flooding. This weekend’s incoming storm is the fourth to hit Britain this season. Just a couple of weeks ago, Storm Bert, and then Conall, brought devastating flooding and even snow. The latest storm, named Darragh, could see the country’s shores hit with 80mph winds, with weather warnings already issued.
In the outgoing year, there were twelve named storms in alphabetical order. It 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.
