Is that it? In Worthing it’s been a bit windy and is now calmer. Much ado about nothing, I got the impression I’d probably get injured if I ventured out from the hysterical media coverage.

Maybe it hasn’t actually kicked off yet down here?

Took a spin to Worthing seafront just now, it is VERY windy there, stopped near the Southern Water garden thing and could barely see Worthing Pier as it is much immersed and there is heavy spray, it is bad but we will survive.

Delighted to see that everyone's getting into the Storm spirit!

First introduced by the Met Office and Met Éireann (the meteorological service in the Republic of Ireland) in 2015, the Name our Storms campaign has helped raise awareness of the potential impacts of severe weather in Britain and Ireland before it hits. Now in its fifth year, Met Office and Met Éireann are joined by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), the Dutch national weather forecasting service.

Earlier this summer Met Office and Met Éireann received thousands of suggestions from the public after asking people to send in ideas for future storm names. Working with Met Éireann and KNMI, the list for 2019-20 has been compiled from these suggestions, choosing some of the more popular names along with names that reflect the three nations diversity.

Evelyn Cusack, Head of Forecasting at Met Éireann, said: “The naming of storms by National Met Services as well as colour coding weather warnings provides a clear, authoritative and consistent message to the public and prompts people to take action to prevent harm to themselves or to their property.

“We are overwhelmed with the huge response to our public call for storm names - please don’t be too disappointed if your name hasn’t been used as you will get another chance next year”.


Any chance of NSC collectively 'influencing' these suggestions later this year?

It's time for the nations to witness the awesome power of...Storm Crodo. :lolol:

I lost Channel 4 plus one for about 5 mins. I might have to evacuate to a hotel.
