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
Patrick
Ruby
Stevie
Tadhg
