Het is immers ook een samenwerkingsverband tussen MetOffice, Met Éireann en het KNMI.
When is a storm named?
The criteria we use for naming storms is based on our National Severe Weather Warnings service. This is based on a combination of both the impact the weather may have, and the likelihood of those impacts occurring.
A storm will be named when it has the potential to cause an amber or red warning.
Other weather types will also be considered, specifically rain if its impact could lead to flooding as advised by the Environment Agency, SEPA and Natural Resources Wales flood warnings. Therefore 'storms systems' could be named on the basis of impacts from the wind but also include the impacts of rain and snow.
How is a storm named?
When the criteria for naming a storm are met, either the Met Office, Met Éireann or KNMI can name a storm.
We then let the public, our partners in government and the responder community and the media know through various routes including publishing details on our website and social media channels.
You can also follow the Met Office on Facebook or Twitter for the latest updates.
