So far in 2025, we’ve reached the letter “F” with our storms – Storm Floris reached us on 1 August.

2023/24 was far more active, though. We saw 12 named storms that year, because, as the Met Office puts it , “Storm seasons are highly variable in the UK, with some seasons seeing a low frequency of named storms, and others more”.

Time will only tell, then, how many of the recently announced 2025/26 storm names will end up being put to use.

Still, we thought we’d share the ones that have just come out, as well as share how these monikers are chosen to begin with.

What are the storm names for 2025/26?

These are:

Amy

Bram

Chandra

Dave

Eddie

Fionnuala

Gerard

Hannah

Isla

Janna

Kasia

Lilith

Marty

Nico

Oscar
