According to Eoin Sherlock, Head of Forecasting Division in Met Éireann, “Naming each storm increases the level of public safety and preparedness as people are more likely to remember and respond to warnings when storms are named.”
Listen a storm is a storm, we gonna run, we hate getting wet.
UK Met Office Head of Situational Awareness Will Lang, said, “This is the tenth year of us naming storms and we do it because it works. Naming storms helps to make communication of severe weather easier and provides clarity when people could be impacted by the weather.”
The US and Europe also name storms, and all others keep that name. This includes those named by the US National Hurricane Center such as Charley (1986) and Ophelia (2017), which had major impacts in Ireland when they crossed the Atlantic.
