UK Storm names

Names of storms in the United Kingdom.

Starting in Winter 2015, severe storms in the United Kingdom are given names in the same way that hurricanes are named in the Americas. Each storm is given a name from a list which is maintained by the UK Meteorological Office and the Irish Met Eireann service.

To avoid confusion, if a storm is the remnant of a named hurricane or tropical storm then it will retain that name, e.g. "Ex-hurricane Cristobal," rather than take on a new name from the list below.
